I have often walked past this place when it was in use,It always seemed very busy and industrious but suddenly in recent times closed up,locked up and cleared off.It was once a filling station but later a car and van hire depot right in the centre of Derby.This was a bit of a mini explore whilst out and about recently.
The team consisted of DRAMA QUEEN,TIMEWARP AND JOHNO23.
Theres not much to the place really and according to the local press,it is due to be demolished to make way for office accomadation etc.Anyway its derelict so heres a few pictures.

Ahah i've been eyeing up this one for a while, unfortunately it seems to be a haunt for some cider drinkers so never really bothered! The place closed three or four years ago and wasn't there very long. Previously there was the steel frame of an industrial building, I don't know if it was half built or half demolished, so I think this was built in the late 1990s.

Planning permission was granted for an environmentally friendly five storey office building which will be called 'Central Square' developed by a company called Bolsterstone. One of three office schemes for this street alone. In my opinion the area will be vastly improved.

Good work Drama Queen.
 
I see there still looks to be ramps set up in the yard. I used to take my inlines and go skating down there years ago......(before my knees were knackered)
 
Cool stuff.. I drove past this just the other day actually and nearly crashed the van staring in to see if it was worth it !

Nice pics.
