Nothing AMAZING but a nice find as I didn't really plan to go in... We sort of stumbled accross it and spur of the moment found a way in and had a gander =] Its in the process of being demo'd at the mo as you can see... Glad I got the chance to explore :D
​
 
Now thats a good find Jess, I wonder whats going to happen with the rest of the place?

That rooftop looks interesting, did you get on top?
 
not yet as it was getting dark pretty fast and we had no torches =( like I said, found ways to upper floors so maybe from there roof access is a possibility - will have to go back and explore when its lighter for longer :D
 
Well I think I know where it is, infact I think its on the same road as another location I sent you a message about!

Either way well found - love new places, especially ones in Derby (not biased honest) I like the sign and magazine in the portaloo :lol:

Definitely going to take a gander tomorrow I think!
 
Crikey, a report from you already? Most impressive! I need to do a place soon but i'm travelling about a fair bit at the mo :( . Currently in pembrokeshire and would've liked to of hit some forts, but I see 'SilverStealth' has already done them all! :lol: Plus i've only got one day left here, ah well... i'll send out a friend to do some and just take the credit ;)

(three emoticons in one sentence is a record for me)

I *think* you may have to remove one of your photos, as it shows your access point. And while an open door sure is an obvious access route, it still may be against the rules to display it.

Wonderful stuff otherwise, loooaaads of images which is always good to see. Though if you're making a habbit out of this you'll be wanting to either not include images with you/anyone in them, or just blur out the faces. Wouldn't want the wrong people stumbling across this thread with your face all over it.
 
Great report with lots of pics of the place.Looks quite an interesting find.Nice to see another addition to Team Derby,welcome aboard:):)
 
Indeed it was, although its a relitavely new building, it was still a challenge and fun to explore :) which surprised me as it doesnt look much from the outside! Inside are intricate tunnels and corridors and little low ceilinged rooms which are fun to get lost in especially when the only light you can rely on is the flashes of your camera to lead the way! Hence some of the dodgy photography here and there ;) it makes it really exiting in the pitch black not knowing what youll find! It'll be great to go explore the roof / 1st floor when I get chance - and hopfully that'll be before the rest gets pulled down!! :p
 
Wow you’ve certainly got off to a flying start!

You’ve found a manky old chair – check
You’ve posed in the chair – check
You’ve found porn – check

I think you’ve probably earnt your PM privileges now. Good first explore. :)

Get yourself a torch and you’ll be sorted ;)
 
nice pics....shame no torch...i need a torch too...cant borrow the girlfriends bros one every time altho it is a maglite


anyways...nice first report...better than my first one
 
Get down to Wilkos opposite the Eagle Centre, they've got a good range of torches under ten quid, not the most amazing torches but theres headlamps, leds, wind-ups etc. The cheapest is 75 pence!

I got a three LED wind up for £4 from there and its great for scaring people! Not brilliant but does the job.
 
Went with Jess and co (I forgot his name - sorry!) yesterday evening, I think its better we don't have multiple threads on the same place so i'll add them here.

Really well found in my opinion, the highlight for me was the easily accessible flat roofed sections which offered some nice views of several Derby landmarks (active AND abandoned). Most of the other pictures I took pretty much show the stuff seen already so i'll spare you seeing the same things again (comradethompski flickr is your friend).

Sorry for the poor quality! The pictures don't do any justice.... You really have to see it for yourself, night or day its just truely stunning =] I hope you all have time to enjoy what we did :)

Looks as good as I thought at night, wish I lived in walking distance as i'd probably sit up there at night just to relax!

Don't suppose you've got any shots from Thursday?
 
I live minutes down the road from here, I really should check it out. Anyone fancy an explore?

Btw is 'guess the urbex location #1' accessible? I see it every day on the way back from college and I've wanted to get in there for months.
