Rear of Adsetts Centre, Sheffield, 2024

A narrow alleyway is bordered by a brick wall on the left and a tall, modern metallic building with vertical lines and narrow windows in the center. The sky with clouds is visible above, and lights and utility boxes are mounted on the walls.

Odeon Sheffield staircase, 2024

A text message conversation. The first message in a blue bubble says, I’m just looking at a smelly staircase in Sheffield! The reply, in a grey bubble, says, That sounds... like an odd pastime.

A low-angle view of a modern concrete building with three zigzagging external staircases, dark railings, and grid-like metal panels on the top level against a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Industrial building exterior with varied textures: corrugated silver metal, dark gray and yellow brick, white concrete, and brown panels. A small concrete spout juts out, with plants growing around it. Vertical lines and contrasts dominate the image.

An odd pastime it may be, but what a staircase it was. Featuring a concrete drain outlet.

Staircase at the side of the Sheaf Building, Sheffield, 2024

A fenced urban service yard with dumpsters and a blue bin stands beside a brick building with outdoor stairs. Yellow lines mark the ground; a van and construction crane appear in the background under a cloudy sky.

I was going to do a big Sheffield post, but actually there’s too much good shit for one post, so I’ve decided to go Bridget Jones-mode and serialise it. They’ll be making a film out of these by the end of the month!

First up: A concrete access staircase by the side of the Sheaf Building. It really doesn’t get any better than this!
