There used to be quite a few up at the old Dry Ski Slope, not been up there for a while so though so it might have all gone by now

not sure of how to do that but its easy to find , go to kiveton park station on the b6059 , dog kennel lane/station road , cross over the main road opposite the station hotel onto packman lane then cross over the river and take the footpath on the right and the garage / farm is on the right in the woods

What about the Steelworks in and around Stocksbridge, Oughtibridge and wharncliffe side.

 

The industrial area stretches on for miles along the valley, I'd bet they've got a bunch of broken down stuff shoved in a corner somewhere.

 

IIRC they're demolishing the old mill in Oughtibridge as well, so you might get some good shots of stuff there too??

The farm / old cars on the canal at Kiveton is not abandond. Every time I go past it there is an old man pottering about, even though the house looks run down I think he still lives there. So you will need permission to take photo's.

it is owned by the old guy who lives the other side of the road should you think you require permission but it is abandoned and has been for many many years , i have been for a look at this a few times and i have never had a problem .
