5. Hepworth Refractories
This factory closed in the 90s, once housing Hepworth Refractories and Carblox - carbon blocks for the steel industry. Old shoes and milk cartons have been found on the site, and plants are now growing through the old toilets. Photo: Google
6. Woolen and Co
The colourful sign is still intact at Woollen & Co Ltd - appropriate considering the company itself made signs. Signs for old pubs and clubs litter the floor in the abandoned factory, where nature has now begun to take over. Photo: Google
7. Attercliffe Tram Sheds
Urban explorers have noted some artistic graffiti popping up at what used to be the Attercliffe Tram sheds - used for servicing Sheffield's trams when they were first introduced, before closing in 1960. Photo: Google
