We had seen this gem of a place on a forum but had no clues to go on when it came to its location. Sqwasher decided that he desperately wanted to see the place and made it his mission to find it. After a lot of searching he thought he knew roughly where it was and so on a bright sunny day in August we set out on a road trip. We arrived in Sheffield at the suspected place and after a lot of scrambling about in undergrowth we, or should I say I, found the access point. Firth Brown Steel Company used this medical centre for its employees and since its closure it has been well hidden behind a large wall, covered over with soil and undergrowth and now also has a car park above it.
Although small it was well worth all the trouble.
A hint of an external shot!

This old stretcher was an interesting find too.

What's left of a pair of old crutches
