- Today’s explore is the former Stanley Tools Rutland Road Production site, this is part two of this mini series. For Part one of this mini series • Where the Stanley Knif...
In this episode we are going to explore and document the administration block which housed the office of the management, sales teams, research and development, payroll and Human Resources. Formal training was also carried out in this 1950’s addition to the well-established Stanley Tools Production plant. A Sky tunnel joined the two buildings removing the need to go in the elements to move from one building to another.
This is the former Stanley Tools production plant on Rutland Road in Sheffield.
The building originally dates back to 1937 and parts of the site were constructed even before this time as the Stanley Works absorbed the workshops of existing Sheffield Business.
Production ranged from hand planes, saws, rulers - officially known as a rule, try squares, chisels, screwdrivers, and many other types of tools for consumer and for industrial use. The innovations by the Research and Development team included the Bailey plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape measure, the famous ‘Stanley Knife’ and various tool boxes which were the mainstay of the shop floor through the war years and well on into the 21st century.
The R&D team developed a new range of tools - FatMax, a complete new range of hand tools and storage systems that would be positioned at the high end trade market. The FatMax range was to be produced in streamlined manufacturing plants and the multi floor, difficult to navigate Rutland Road site closed in 2008 after 71 years of operation for Stanley Tools.

Thank You for Watching :)
This video was filmed on a Canon 6D mk2 with a Samyang 14mm lens. It was a bad setup and is not recommended.

Really glad we met it was a good day
Very interesting video, especially as can relate to the products made and sold there. Always amazed that such iconic buildings are left forgotten and trashed. You' think they could be reused in some way or reconditioned to help the homeless in these difficult times.
Be interested to see some of the photos your colleague took. When our factory closed, some of the urbex photos taken were brilliant artistic depictions of the place, a brilliant historical record.
Take care, PMh
Glad you enjoyed it Phillip :) Ill ask Paul about the images.
aww no. I am so sorry I missed your premiere Andy, i was bringing my fluffball to the boarding kennels for his holiday before i go on mine. Watching now x
Hello WinnieWitch:)
No problem. It wasn’t planned tbh. As I was at home I thought why not do a premiere:)
Love this stuff but I need another railway fix!
Well you’re in luck Sir as next week is a Railway video :)
@@ALWResearchTeam Good news, P-Way Wise, Andy & Co!
I do hope you and Thomas et al. are doing well.
All the best, ALW. Rab 💚 🕊 👋
This was great👍 thank you x
You’re very welcome Bee 🐝
Timestamp 15' 48": Nice swatch of ye olde Anaglypta wallcovering there, Andy and Paul!
All the best. Rab 🍻 😎 👋
Great explore Andy 👍
Thank You
Brilliant video mate great location to
Thank you sir
It us to be a good place to go to as I took my tools back there when they needed replacement or repairing as they use to be a life time replacement with them
Nice video, Andy. I guess air-soft did more damage than abandon and decay, the structure looks better than the work floor from the previous video. Sorry you had to bail out early from the explore. Better be safe, right?
Cheers.
Hello there, Airsoft is a double edged sword as often it keeps the buildings in place rather than demolition. Also they’re usually hospitable when I contact them for access permission. This site at Sheffield was unfortunately the victim of repeat break-ins and vandalism which I’m told forced the Airsoft company out of business at this site.
@@ALWResearchTeam Vandals. Never fail to ruin everything. Thanks for the insight on the access theme, Andy.
Cheers.
i got a job with stanley, they said id come in handy.
they started me on monday, so i had a bath on sunday....
ha ha :)
hospital bed was probably from the medical room, idiots probably pushed it out, as always great video, thankyou
Hello there :)
Yes that makes sense. It was a good explore of a once bustling building.

It is heartbreaking to see how bankers destroyed such iconic manufacturing businesses across this formally amazing industrial nation.
Now millions of people have no work.
There's a lot more to it, mainly successive governments that lacked support for manufacturing and UK companies that didn't modernise. It certainly is a shame that UK industry is and has been in decline since the end of the 1940's. The current unemployment official figure is 1,437,000
Carpenter talking to an Electrician , how many Stanley tools have you had over the years? And they probably came from this site.
Hi Anthony, yes they probably did.
