Hidden beneath what is now a car park on Garter Street, Sheffield, lie the remains of an old hospital where injured workers from the old Firth Brown steelworks were once treated. The urban explorer behind Lost Places & Forgotten Faces described it as a 'cold and claustrophobic' place that 'has experienced a lot of death and suffering'. This picture shows some eerie graffiti on the bare walls.

The abandoned places also include an underground medical centre, a 'wagon graveyard' and a cemetery

The urban explorer behind the popular Facebook page Lost Places & Forgotten Faces has visited dozens of abandoned sites in and around Sheffield.

Ahead of Halloween, The Star asked him to name the 'creepiest' places he's discovered within the city.

His choices included a disused cemetery in Loxley where many of the cracked and leaning headstones are being subsumed by nature, a 'haunted' pub just outside the city centre where doors are said to open by themselves and an underground medical centre where injured steelworkers were once treated.

An old 'railway wagon graveyard' hidden within dense woodland on the outskirts of Sheffield is another of the most unsettling sites he's ever explored.

Below are some of the best and eeriest photos of these sites, where spiderwebs, ominous graffiti and discarded toys all add to the chilling atmosphere.
