i visited here the other day with noisemetalrich. i'v known of the place for about 6 years as i work in the derbyshire area , i'm sure it was open only 2 to 3 years back as the grass at that time was mown and there were cars in the car park at that time.
drove past recently and noticed it was derelict. well i did know, as there have been several posts on DP done here starting around January this year.
i was shocked at the amount of vandalism and gyppo damage here, done in only a short space of time.
the thieving gyppo scumbags had took everything metal insight very recently as it was in the local paper.
if you look back at posts by fezzyben and ashless done earlier on in the year you can see the difference , its shocking what has gone on here in only 7 months.
watch your step if you visit here as all the gully grids and manhole covers have been gypo'd. its well dangerous as you could drop 8 foot down a manhole if your not looking at the ground !
anyway, on with the pics.
enjoy.
ward block built in the 1930's i think
more gypo damage. all the cast iron down stacks had been smashed off along with sections of cast iron guttering . they had even cut down all the lamp posts with a disk cutter !
all the ward blocks are modern inside and are not too interesting, again gypo action here too. all the radiators had gone along with all the bath and sink taps. also every aluminium door kick plate had gone too.
they must of been here weeks.
found painted on the wall in a ward.
looking out towards the kitchen and dinning hall block.
the main hall. by far the most interesting place on site. unfortunately , heavily vandalized since january. see old posts on DP.
stage lighting still intact.
view towards stage. all the curtains had been torn down and set fire to on the floor burning holes in the oak block floor. the stage was done in oak too. old stage backdrops were still there on the floor .
the smashed remains of the halls glitter ball, looks as if its been used as a football ! see old post in january and you will see it up and intact.
a sad teddy bear in the hall.
ornamental wooden box of fake flowers above the doors to the hall.
old rectifier
this Rolls Royce back up generator has also been unfortunately been attacked by the gypo's. they have nicked the large copper radiator from the front of the genny. see old posts to see it intact.
the mains electricity comes up in this room . all the switch gear had been stripped of copper and brass, all the heavy cabling has gone. the main busbar chambers had also been stripped of copper. they must of made a mint here !
very old switch and socket in lift room
engineering stores.
large plastic pants !!!!!!
on roof of engineering .
looking down onto the kitchen and dinning hall block from engineering roof.
serving hatch in dinning hall.
kitchen switchgear.
enameled reflector light.
britton B door closer .
a pallet of around 2000 of these was found in the back store of the kitchens . apparently all the frozen food for derbyshire hospitals was prepared here and distributed where needed.
tampon machine ! still full by the looks of it.
the main dinning hall. the kids had run a riot in here smashing everything in sight. all the windows are smashed, all the light shades are smashed. what got me was this... there is a annex where the main front doors to the hall are , which are boarded over on the outside, yet the glass is all smashed on the inside. also the 2 glass doors leading to the hall had been kicked of their hinges and smashed on the floor . yet .. i looked up and saw this !!!!!!!!
two 70's triple crystal glass light fittings just hanging above my head. now theres selective vandalism for you. or is it the thick twats didnt look up !
glad they didn't.
heres the door under the crystal lights !
canteen switch
thanks for looking, i know there were too many pics there, but i got carried away ! sos.
