The film, uploaded to video sharing website YouTube, shows a woman on the roof of the Grade II listed building as well as others exploring undeveloped parts of the sprawling housing complex.

The 90 second clip shows the "urban explorers" wandering through derelict flats, some still complete with furniture, along walkways and on the roof of the building which has dominated Sheffield's skyline for more than 50 years.
