The Preamble (or Waffle as some of you may call it)​

OK, so I'm onto C now so I bring you Canon Brewery.​

When I first strolled into this hobby, almost 7 years ago, I used to detest Grafitti. I detested it in all it's forms.  After a little while, I got to see some of the more creative, artistic pieces including pieces by Phlegm, Milla K and Rocket 01, among others.​

Fast forward to today and I am now a big, big fan of Street Art (Just my way of making a distinction between the inane, pointless scribbles and tagging and the works with some artistic intent.​

Anyway, there is a lot of street art in this place, along with some squiggles and crap, and some of it really quite good including one piece by Milla K that I love. So there is going to be a fair bit of Street art in this report so if you don't like it you may want to look away now.​

The Visits​

The shots were taken over two visits - the first with the slightly disheveled one that some refer to as Fragglehunter, the second with the man simply known as  ..... Zero81.​

 ​

The history​

William Stones Ltd was founded in 1868 in Sheffield and purchased by bass brewery in 1968.  Stones bitter was brewed here from 1948 and proved popular with the city's steelworkers. In 1992, it was the country's highest selling bitter.​

The Brewery was closed in April 1999 with the loss of  57 jobs.​

with how many pics I have posted I've tried to get a  decent variety in there - I could easily have filled the whole report with street art, so hope I haven't lost or bored anyone.​

It's a good sized site and I utterly loved the place.​

I've got mixed feelings about graf in places that i've visited but i'll have to agree with you that there's some pretty awesome pieces in this place. And very nicely photographed as always mate

That's a great selection there mate, you've got around the place well. Don't remember seeing that spiral staircase before, pretty cool that
