Simpson Clough Mill was built in the 1840s initially a Woollen mill for Oram Thomas & Sons.

Just before the start of WW2, it was purchased by JR Crompton, where it would be used for food storage during the war.

Post war, the mill was converted into a paper mill, where filter papers were manufactured. Tea bag paper was apparently invented here, and this is primarily what was produced along with coffee filters.

The company fell into administration around 2006, where 15% of the 110 staff workforce received redundancy. They were then bought out by Purico, and Simpson Clough Mill changed to Union Papertech. They expanded their product, manufacturing paper wrapping for sausages along with the teabag and coffee filters, but still, this wasn’t enough.

When the Covid outbreak hit in 2019/20, the business struggled even further with rising costs, the main factor being the rise in energy prices. Eventually, switching down to run just the one machine.
Union Papertech eventually ceased operations at the Simpson Clough Mill site in January 2023.
There is a short video of the explore below.

Sheffield old courts and town hall.

The old town hall was built in 1807/8 by Charles Watson, and was designed to house not only the town trustees but also the petty and quarter sessions. The initial building was a five-bay structure fronting Castle Street, but it was extended in 1833 and again in 1866 by William Flockton (1804-1864) of Sheffield and his partner for the project, Abbott; the most prominent feature was the new central clock tower over a new main entrance that reoriented the building to Waingate.
At the same time, the building’s courtrooms were linked by underground passages to the neighbouring Sheffield Police Offices.

The first town council was elected in 1843 and took over the lease of the town trustees’ hall in 1866. The following year, the building was extensively renovated, with a clock tower designed by Flockton & Abbott being added.

By the 1890's, the building had again become too small, and the current Sheffield Town Hall was built further south. The Old Town Hall was again extended in 1896-7, by the renamed Flockton, Gibbs & Flockton, and became Sheffield Crown Court and Sheffield High Court. In the 1990's, these courts moved to new premises, and since at least 1997 to present, the building remains disused.

I apologise as the photos aren't the best due to losing my torch on an explore previous to this.

The maltings was built in 1964 and has produced around 30,000 tonnes of malt a year, mostly for traditional UK brewers.

The town was home to numerous maltings in its heyday. Up to 20 maltings businesses operated in the town at one time this was the last one to close it closed at the start of 2021.

The site operated a ‘Wanderhaufen’ style of malting plant, consisting of separate steeping, germination and kilning vessels and was fully PLC controlled throughout.

The grain tower itself is the highest building in the town.

Peglers South Yorkshire.

Peglers, a long-standing Doncaster firm known for plumbing and heating products, has a history dating back to 1899. Initially named Pegler Bros. & Company, it was founded by Francis "Frank" Pegler and evolved into Pegler Yorkshire, becoming a prominent name in the industry. The company's Doncaster factory, Belmont Works, played a significant role in the firm's development and is a local landmark.
Sadly, in 2024, there were talks of it closing down how this was allowed. I will never know. The site shut in 2025.
Everything will end up auctioned off. I've seen this happen so much recently with industrial places, just closing, and then the site gets demolished. There is a video in the comments below.

The hoist in Goole dates from 1862 and was used to lift canal barge compartments and tip their cargo of coal into seagoing vessels. The compartment boats were popularly known as Tom Puddings hence the familiar local name for the structure is a Tom Pudding Hoist.
This is the only remaining one of the five hoists which operated at Goole. It is a Grade II listed structure

Sad evening for Droitwich Spa
The Raven Hotel was built in the 1600's and was originally known as St. Andrews House.
In the late 1800's it was bought and had extensions added, 8 years later it opened as the the Raven Hotel and was a luxurious hotel.
It would of been beautiful back in the day, it’s suffered a lot of damage from fires and graffiti, it’s a real shame as this building is over 340 year old.
It had 72 bedrooms and quite a few conference rooms and bars for events and weddings, it closed down in 2010 and was put up for sale in the hope that it would sell as it was a busy venue when it was open, it was eventually bought in 2018 but they didn’t want to reopen it, instead they wanted to build 51 houses and redevelop the grade listed parts, nothing has happened with the building since it’s closure sadly tonight it suffered a really bad fire taking out most of the older part of the building.
