9. Middlewood Church
Sharing the name of Middlewood mental hospital, this church was built in 1875 and was closed in the 90s. It was put on the market but has been abandoned by then, with creepy empty pews within. Photo: Google
10. Park Hill Flats
The site of Sheffield's famous "I love you will u marry me" graffiti, Park Hill flats have been abandoned for years, but are now up for regeneration. The huge development has drawn many urban explorers over the years. Photo: Shutterstock
11. 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
