I was inside for around 1 hour and half before security caught us.
Apparently i was told there has been theft of copper.

I saw the teddy too haha.

Did they call the police?

I work for the Trust that runs this site, although unfortunately I've only started since everything moved into the new buildings.

There was a big police raid a couple of weeks ago because there was an organised copper-stripping operation going on. They'd set up workshops within the grounds and were even stripping active floors!

I know its awhile since anyone has posted.

I drove round the site again the other night and security were straight on it, however it was night and car headlights more then likely alerted them, however i think security may have a office near the entrance of the site.

i'd be interested in an excuse to head up that way - did someone say they worked for the devs? I'd be game to play the University card and chance it?

No new reports from this place for a while,security must be well on top now.

Sounds like this place is due for Demolition soon,time is running out for those who havent explored it yet.

 

[thegooddoctor]

Demolition in progress. Rumours are that part of it may be kept and converted but I don't know.

Apparently,Derby City Council has given planning permission for 700 new homes, a business park and shops at the former Kingsway Hospital site.
