Nice report mate! Has the roof completely collapsed in over the main section?

Not too shabby a first explore

Supposedly the council were supposed to put a temporary roof on it to protect it from the elements... hmm.

So much potential here but no money to do anything about it... really saddens me.

Given the amount of damage done by the 'roof repairs' it's not really surprising though is it? It's a good explore if you get up into the little rooms and offices etc...

Nice one,we had a really good access all areas explore in there earlier in the year before it got trashed and it was quite amazing.The stage and backstage area was immense and it had a huge substage beneath.
Did you get up into the projection room right up at the top??

I just wished the council would hurry up and activate the enforcement notice they have pending as this damp and dingy weather is doing the place no use at all in its current state.I think the owner is just playing for time in the hope that the weather finishes the job he started.

Its quite a place and a true piece of Derby History,I only wished I could afford to buy and restore it
