I’ll never forget the time I visited Sheffield in 1988 to have a look at the Polytechnic, and saw this humongous estate looming over the city from the railway station. I developed a fascination with council housing schemes a little later on, which lives on - I now work for a developer building social housing, and have had a career in the sector for the past 20 years. The one estate I’d have loved to have visited though was Quarry Hill in Leeds - that one has always fascinated me!
That’s interesting! Thankyou for sharing
I went there today with my geography class. They have refurbished a section of it and it’s going to be amazing. The prices of the new flats are a big pricy so there’s a bit of social cleansing going on
Would be a dream if I could get into this place ! Been here many of time to take photographs but only from the outside. Find stuff like to so interesting , especially looking around places that are quite close to home. What a truly, in my opinion, beautiful place !
Loved this luce! Hahahha karl "put that cookie down now" so funny. Looking forward to seeing you both again x
Forbidden Decay thankyou Kelly! Can’t wait to come back! Your lovely people xx
Exploring With Lucy same and when we're down south we'll meet up at some point 😊 likewise was a great night minus what we saw coming out of park hill 🙈xx
One interesting fact I only recently learned is that this complex was given grade 2 listed status in 1998. Without that, it would almost certainly have met with the wrecking ball once all the tenants had been moved out. As harsh and brutalist as it is, time has made me appreciate that they were actually very well built structures, unlike a lot of other council housing schemes of the 1950s and 60s that were crumbling after barely 20 years and HAD to be pulled down for safety. The brualist design is definitely not for me (it used to scare me seeing it from the train station as a kid) but in some ways I am pleased to see it getting revived and repurposed, though it is a pity that none of the new flats will be affordable housing, which is what it was originally meant to be.
It’s a lovely place to visit
Wow what a great video. That place is huge! It’s so big it’s kind of creepy. There could definitely be some people creeping around there. Thanks for sharing and stay safe in your explores! 💜
Kim Loves ModestMouse thankyou :) was amazing to see! X
Amazing that something on that scale can be left abandoned. I imagine they will be demolished pretty quickly and new housing built on the site. Looks like a great place to explore though.
Urbexy thankyou! And yes they have already converted some of it!
That place is huge! You can just picture kids playing on them parks and now just emptiness. Makes you kind of wonder where they all are now. It's a lot of people to move on. Nice video Lucy atb
Gaziano Outdoors thankyou! And yes me to. I was thinking the same thing! Find it a little sad :(
Omg that's so huge! love the video clip at the beginning. Awesome find you guy's :-)
upalevel productions thankyou Hun
This is England was the scene,
Thank you for the reply. Keep the explores coming very interesting
Alan Ratcliffe thankyou!
Nice find big thumbs up : )
simbo simbo thankyou 🤩
Brilliant explore, I went for a look around the flats on Monday, it looked very secure, I was disappointed, after seeing other people's explore it would have been great to get inside.
Great video Lucy nicely put together 👍🏻
What an awesome explore ❤
Diabeto 46 thankyou! X
Just caught up on this vid..loved it,must have took forever to get around.
awesome videos! i love exploring weird stuff like this. just subbed to your channel :)
great work! love this is england too! have to meet up for that explore soon :)
Lost Adventures definitely, if you want to meet for a explore send me a message
The whole of Park Hill flats are slowly getting refurbished.
Michael Langley yeah they will be soon
Michael David Yeah but not for the original tenants , gentrification. !
@@thornbird6768 Well, to be fair, the most-recent "original" (CHAVs on duh dole) tenants didn't exactly take great care of the place. Owners with "skin in the game" are going to make sure the place is managed (and policed) a lot better, and there's really zero exceptions to that rule.
Major Calibere Original tenants as in the people who had jobs and got moved on or priced out !! No ones got time for unemployed chavs or so called asylum seekers .
Thanks for posting. That was a really interesting video.
KENKENNIFF thanks for watching :)
I lived here between 1986 to 1992 brings back so many memories still remember my address use to be a great community thanks for bringing back the memories
Shame this has happened!
GREAT job on the "walking tour" nature of this video. I've seen hundreds of stills of this massive estate, but didn't really grasp how it all "goes together". I knew it was set into a steep hill, with the shorter buildings at the top, taller buildings towards the bottom, keeping the rooflines strangely level, but your careful panning around really brought it into "3D"... kudos.
love this! great video x
Brighton Urbex thankyou! X
I love this stuff, can’t explain the feeling I get from these old places. I think it’s the thought that they were once bustling places, people’s memories and history.
Great video, you’ve got another subscriber 👍
Thanks for watching x
I’ve relations who live in Sheffield. They used to live in these. My parents used to take us there to visit. Used to be a lot of high rise flats also. Sheffield was an industrial city. Used to be very gloomy etc. Now when I go, it’s fantastic! Very modern and vibrant..👍
That’s interesting! Thankyou for sharing x
Could house all of the homeless in britain in there
Awesome vid Luc, I couldn’t get in there
TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX were go up there soon and you can come :)
Massive estate , I wonder were all the families that lived there are now. Don’t see the abandoned estates here in Australia. Great video Lucy.
Desmond Kennett I’ve never seen anything like this either! Such s shame though! Looks like Chernobyl
It is massive Desmond!
That’s a good find Lucy really cool video
Thankyou!!!
Great vid, such a good spot
Urbandoned thankyou! 🤩
Nice explore, that place is huge :)
Steve183 it was amazing!
How are you supposed to remember which block is yours 🤣🤣 what a lot of flats !!
great explore lucy
Escape The Wild thank you
Believe it or not in the 60s this was an amazing place to live ,I lived on its sister flats Hyde park
Try and explore the underground tunnels ,sewers we did in the 60s amazing ,also there is a way on the roof if you are brave enough
We also used to surf on top of the lifts until a friend died ,
Refurbishing these flats but not for sale would solve a lot of housing needs , there are lots of these huge estates being torn down or made pretty to sell !
I explored this the other day to see how it is redeveloping. I wish I had filmed it when you did. It is interesting to compare your video to now 👍
Has it changed much x
@@ExploringWithLucy I think the actual buildings have improved. One of the sections anyway. There is still building sites at the top end. It is all fenced off and can not enter the buildings. The inner grounds has improved too with flowers. A few sculptures and some deck chairs, a ping-pong ball table too, not too hot on facilities!
looks like an awesome explore great vid 😎✌
Thankyou! Hope you enjoyed it ;) xx
@@ExploringWithLucy awesome you have a great channel im a follower for sure 🤗 what did i do today binge watched exploring with lucy 🤣🤣 love it

Duane Logan hi Duane thank you for the support :)
Hi Duane the other day you asked about patron I now have one :) www.patreon.com/Exploringwithlucy
Massive, i wish we had places like this on Long Island anything abandoned disappears quickly. I would love to make a second channel on abandonment but it seems to not be in the cards oh well ill just enjoy your channel😉
Beastie Prince thankyou😁 loved this place! Do you explore?
Exploring With Lucy I would in a heart beat but they just dont leave anything alone around here always profit to be had i guess👎
Exploring With Lucy And the laws are strict here I'll be put through the ringer for nothing, criminal charge and a fine on my record maybe even bail😲
Beastie Prince where abouts you from? :)
Beastie Prince oh wow that’s crazy! Where abouts
A very big place, very nice view from the outside, not very big homes but it was very well closed off sadly hehe, closed by mismanagement or something?
rolf sinkgraven I’m not 100% sure what happened. Can’t see much online at all. It’s been like this for 10+ plus someone said!
Urban splash are the developers
Mick Wall ah okay
Even more amazing it’s a listed building
Shawn Pee have you been?
:)
Hi Lucy hope you got the details hope you can explore good luck.
adrian ricketts thank you
They’re rebuilding the whole estate now little by little, should come back, looks mint
Ooooh would like to see photos
Love the 50cc bikes at the beginning how did you time that clip in with your explore??
adrian ricketts I got it from this is England :)
Cool thank you .
Hi Lucy , I have a explore for you to check out ,No one's ever filmed there .The area is Bristol uk it's a street with shops that's had a false bridge built on top of it , the shops still have curtains in the windows and the old Victorian street lamps are still there The entry point is in the cellar of the packhorse pub if you speak to the landlord he may allow you access it would make a great explore it's near old market and Redfield.
adrian ricketts wow sounds great! Could you message me the information please
That tiny ass park in relation to all of those flats is crazy. There needed to be more outdoors space.
Is this park hill in sheffield?
Kind of sad that a complex that huge--which once had not just that nursery school, but 4 pubs and 31 shops--did not include a single swimming pool (heated, nach). I mean there was just so much money being flung at such projects in that optimistic post-war "Space Age" era. I'm guessing the present gentrification might include such things... along with some American style gas-fired BBQ grills for outdoor cooking in the summer, eh wot! :D
Thanks Lucy, but what horrible scuzzy flats. If I lived there I'd be on tramadol or pissed all the time. Now you've been blow them up!
bigladjonnyb oy I think they are converting them now 😜
Wish we could of seen more inside the flats tho 👍
Good video. was it built in the 70s
diese kalte Welt Thankyou :)
Rent them out to homeless people. £14 per month, my opinion x
Do you know if there was a bad lot living there ? Sometimes a place will go under if it's a crime ridden area.
Looks a bit like robin hood gardens before it sadly got demolished:(
All on with a fizzy
How did you get In This place with security everywhere.
It was a long time ago!!
Some of them flats have got a better kitchen than mine.
Haha the place was mad
Was a rough estate that. Much better now
is it still like this now
Great intro. The eatate now looks like a nucular warhead bad a go at it.
How did you get there
Is all of it abandoned by any chance?
Is that still like that??
[ DAZisDEAD] I went there today. One building has been refurbished and people are living in them. It’s amazing what they look like now. They still have a long way to go but the builders are working on it :)
The whole estate due to be refurbished by 2022
I need to go here. Postcode?
It’s such a shame that places are just abandoned and left towels on it how many places there are absolutely left how things are slowly being wasted everywhere is just becoming abandon plus also since the Corona there’s been a ban on properties being left now but so interesting and what they have left behind and how long that building is been left there like that for is very interestingxx
Strange, are these structures dangerous to live or whats the reason of abandonment?
Because of unemployment after the steel industry collapsed, a lot of people moved out of the city and not many people wanted to move it. The people that remained was bought out of the flats with money
So this is Sheffield Park hill est ?
Tom Barry yes
:)
+Exploring with Lucy way before your time (I was only 6) in 1982, I am pretty sure that the Human League video for 'Love Action' was filmed in there. It is a brilliant song, the bits were Susan and Joann are walking down the corridors.
They could do it up and offer to it to the homeless
jeeze that place look a proper mess, seen the price on the rent charging 750pcm ridiculous
How many units total?
Elise McClintick I’m not 100% sure
Elise McClintick 257 flats for sale, 56 flats for rent, 12 flats for shared ownership, a new GPs' surgery, a nursery, retail and leisure facilities. Park Hill is a council housing estate in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It was built between 1957 and 1961, and in 1998 was given Grade II* listed building status.
What a waste and why are we having housing troubles if there's places like this all over the place
Lawrence Keogh very true!
At one stage there was homeless living tents in the yard area but they got moved out
Social segregation. In a capitalist society they want to cleanse the areas of the “undesirables” eg. Homeless
Parkhill ?
Also i should add non of the cameras work
Lewis Vlogs yep
non of the cameras on the site work me and a few friends was running around on top of the roof a few weeks back turning off the electricity off and on
Lewis Vlogs oh that’s good then! Love this place :)
Dah Concrete jungle
hi Lucy that was Ace huge housing estate think it's been abandoned for donkeys years
Julie Pownall hey Julie! I think so to! Was amazing to see!
sheffield right?
It was !
@@ExploringWithLucy it is u mean? u from sheff too?
No I’m not. Not sure if it’s still there x
@@ExploringWithLucy it is still there im goin 4 a look so ty for vid cheers. Daz
Why was it abandoned? Is their plans to do anything with it?
lubabe I wish I knew! There converting it now
Maybe just improving it so the owners can change higher rents? my guess anyway.
These estates need to all be pulled down, they are full of trouble and deprivation.
Hacks Away often they are not crime ridden, people are forced out of their homes with nowhere to go, and the media and council create lies to depict an atmosphere which isn’t actually there
Why is this abandoned.
No clue
but where all the people living in this trash went ?
DGSE no idea!!
They got paid to move out into slightly bigger houses and got given money
Compulsory purchase , the people who owned properties were given under market price so after the regen is done they won’t be able to afford to move back . People who were council tenants were just moved onto other council estates !!
It’s a dump that’s why it’s abandoned.
Yeah looks it haha
@@ExploringWithLucy We have estates like them here in Leicestershire and people hate living there. Very nice when first built but the reality was something that turned out to be a living nightmare.
Hit Us Up In Manchester Lucy
🏆🏆🚬🚿

Well done60s planners our very own chernobyl
Great intro. The eatate now looks like a nucular warhead bad a go at it.
