George Barnsley & Sons Ltd specialised in tools for shoe makers and leather workers. The building closed around 2004.
This was my third visit to the site, over the years the site has deteriorated and before long the building will start to crumble. This was my first visit since the death of 0742, a Sheffield based explorer, who first showed me around this place and campaigned hard to save it. His ashes were recently spread around the site. He’s at peace with the site he loved. Miss you Mozaz.
