Having made a brief foray into the Derby Hippodrome again, just to check the new security measures that have been put in place since my last visit (if you can't get in, give up UE right now!!).
Myself and SmileySal made our way across the road to another of Mr Christopher Anthony's portfolio properties.
This former Presbyterian Chapel was built in 1868 and was used as a religious building until 1972.
Since 1979 the property has been utilised as various bars and social venues until it finally closed its doors in 2004, under the name of the Diva Disco bar. Two years later it was bought by Bijou Developments and is currently on the market for £850 000.
Having read a previous report, warning of the live three phase power supply in the basement, I'd just like to add a warning about used needles near the access point, make sure you have a good look when you're climbing into these places, folks.
Anyway, I won't witter on, here are the pics.
Hey, me and Sal thought we'd stop for a drink...
Was a decent explore for an hour or so, think Sal has some pics to add too.
