Very little history on this place. The former Distribution Warehouse, a 1.8-acre site. The site is well-placed due to its direct access into Sheffield city centre and out to the M1 Motorway at Junction 36. A Street View capture from October 2014 shows the site being used by C&D Transport Express. Meanwhile, a Google search also turns up A&E Transport Ltd, another Road Haulage Services company, to be based here too. A Companies House search confirms that they are one and the same and owned by the same directors, although A&E predates C&D.
They appear to have vacated the site in early 2016 as the premises were being advertised by estate agents Frank Knight in March 2016. The photographs from back then show the site to be clean, tidy and secure and on offer for an annual rental of £67,000. After then, with lots of other choices in terms of factory space rental in the area, the site seems to have been unoccupied. However, while the brochure pictures of the site show no trailers in the yard, today there are five left behind, hinting the premises may have subsequently been let out.

We thought may have a nosey before it goes.
The site has been severely vandalised and is covered in lots of urban artwork – Some of which is amazing. It has become a hangout for local youths, who have even constructed a makeshift living room to chill in.
The main warehouse has been totally stripped and there isn’t a right lot to document. A nice, easy explore suitable for inexperienced explorers just starting out and wanting to dabble in the hobby.
