Derby Rooftop - June 2009

[james.s]

Hello everyone,
I visited this Rooftop in Derby with The_Revolution and Peter, I can't really reveal where it is other than by PM if you are interested as it is a good one and we need to keep it open
No doubt most of you know which one it is anyway

Thanks for looking

Yeah really interesting? did you not see where the culvert once was under the road that separates the city?

I've been down that culvert
Thanks for the comment

That culvert was dug up accidently by me and others as we was working on the new(ish) paving slabs and the layout of the road and such stuff in the city centre, it was left exposed for a few weeks so the people could look at it, it is now 'preserved' with plastic sheeting and stuff but still remains under the busy road as it is now!!

Oh wow!
Is it Markeaton Culvert, or some other one I don't know about?

Nice rooftop angle on old Derby Centre.

The culvert that you mention is the Markeaton Culvert that runs through the City centre and is still there today,there are a number of threads on here about it.
Most of the Derby crew have explored it in recent times and it is well worth a visit.If you need any fine details/access info etc please PM me.

There's a few; this one comes out near the old bus station (I think). Johno23, ashless etc will know better than me; I don't like getting my feet wet.

I've already been down it, it gets quite deep in places

 

[ashless]

Nicely done you guys!

Thanks
I want to get more rooftops done now, the views are good! We've found a promising one in ripley actually

High stuff at night is fookin ace, you need to get higher than 4 storeys though, 20+ is where it's at

 

[james.s]

There are hardly any 20 storey things in Derbyshire, and I'm still a roof-n00b I bet the views are great from up there though

 

[mexico75]

Yup

Citys always look better at night.

Derby is a bit low-rise.

For a while this was the tallest thing there....

 

[james.s]

Mmmmm, craney goodness, they are great photos!
Yours is cool too Mexico75, I need to find a skyscraper now

I like 'low' roofs. nicely done. (yes i like uber high ones too, but low ones can be very rewarding, just not usually as photogenic)
