Ok, so I realise this has been where most of the Derby (and maybe other places) urbexers started, but I've waited for 6 years to do this place, saw my opportunity and went with two other friends.
"The (Derby) Friargate Line is a now closed railway line that was part of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension of the Great Northern Railway. It linked Nottingham and Grantham to the east of the East Midlands counties to Burton upon Trent to the south west of the area. The route cut a direct line through the midlands industrial city of Derby whereupon an impressive warehouse was constructed, large sidings and the pretty Derby Friargate Station. The line had such an impact on Derby, Friargate and the surrounding areas that it became known as the Derby Friargate Line.
It opened as Derby in 1878, was renamed as Derby Friargate in 1881 and was closed to passengers in the September of 1964."

Some of the grafitti in abandoned places is amazing, this place is no exception...

Does anyone know why this car's in here in the first place?

I failed to get photos of the basement (which I saw), so will hopefully go back some time soon. Thanks for looking
