Just got these put together, Ill upload more when I have been through them.

It's a great place to look around, went recently with a few of the Derby bunch,
did you go into the depths of the basement? if not you'll love it down there, bring a good torch tho! like the top b/w pic.

I got advised about that area by a Homeless guy in there who I had a nice chat with. I did see the underground area but the guy I was with wasn't happy about going down there and would not go down. So I diddnt spend long. Im going back soon, its sorta local so I diddnt mind missing it that time.

You didnt really miss owt, those little kids were drivin me crazy and 3 turned out to be scared of the dark and the other kept scaring them lol. I was gonna try light painting but never got the chance.

I'm sure some of the derby crew will give you a tour if you ask them nicely.

Next on the list: the 1st floor!

Did you find the 11 year old newspapers? - typical guy I had to look at the sports pages; Derby County were quite good back then

 

[Skaterdrew]

Yea there seemed a good way up there but we left early and went to another place.

We got a rope ladder ready for that next time lol.

 

[ashless]

Sorry to kinda hijack your thread by the way!

 

[NobodyGirl]

Nice pictures NobodyGirl, and welcome to the forum. Good to see its not been sealed up, which can't be said for other buildings in Derby.

I remember when the staircase was still intact two years ago (and most entrances in were wide open) I wish I had the guts to climb the stairs back then because I bet it was amazing.

Doing some research into the building I came across this planning application on Derby City Council's website LINK
