Yes its been well around the block but the main visit was to see some pretty awesome artwork that now adorns this wreck, plus the chance to take in some cracking views over Sheff, but sods law soon as we got to the top in came the fogAnyroad managed some. Visited with mini explorer that is kelseyrebecca98.
The hotel opened in 1965 ready for Sheffield to host group matches in the 1966 World Cup and in time for the Swiss team to be based there. It later became the Forte Posthouse and then a Holiday Inn.
Visible from long distances, it has stood vacant since 2004 while plans to revitalise the whole campus as a private housing complex have been drawn up and scrutinised.
Cheers
