Exploring Sheffield part 2 of 2: Cannon Brewery

William Stones took the lease of the Neepsend Brewery in 1868 and renamed it Cannon Brewery, from where Stones Bitter was brewed.

Rebuilt in 1962, Bass took over in 1968 and in the 1970s and 1980s the Stones brand became one of the UK's most recognised.

As cask conditioned ale declined in popularity, Bass closed the brewery 1999 and it has remained vacant since.

The visit took in the 5 story brewhouse, an on-site underground pub (The Pig & Whistle), extensive cellars which run under the yard and various offices and stores.

There's some excellent graffiti on display - the site is a hidden art gallery and living museum rolled into one.
