The University of Derby Buxton used to offer Hairdressing and Beauty, Health and Social Care, Creative Digital Media, Business, Learning and Leisure courses.

The views from this college are amazing and worth the trip just for them,The place is pretty trashed and has got worst over the last year(before the comment "since we went it has got alot worst or the likes " ) appears but other places are quite good like the science department and the enginering works with alot to see,really sorry for so many pics but i really did like this place and spent a few hours looking through old slides etc.

Looks like they might have planned on staying open? Either that or that's the new campus :)

aaaah, such a shame to see it it this state nowadays. I like High Peak college. Used to go up there loads when it was open (EEK 27 years ago lol ) as one friend was on a two year catering course, one was on a hospitality course, and the third one was on the Travel and Tourism Course. Used to be lovely in there, the restaurant did good deals on 3 course meals as the catering students prepared and cooked them, others were waitressing etc.

When me and Mendo went a few years ago, I was shocked at the state of it then from what it was like when my friends were there. It's in a worse state now than ever. When we visited the library still had the books on the shelves.

:icon_evil

ps, Lone Explorer. the poster with the Buxton Campus dates on could be referring to the main Buxton Campus. It used to be split with this one and one in the town centre, but now it's all in the town centre instead.

I too was shocked as went there in 1980 - stayed in the halls of residence the small ones in the first year and the luxury ones in Year 2 - above the library. Would love to go and look round now but just dont have the bottle :)

well ive kinda been busy last few days so when i looked through my pics if theres anything you guys didnt cover ill put some up and also dhl i believe it was probably more the car owner breaking down than the car lol but it was a fun day out.
i really enjoyed this place despite the trashedness of it. and hopefully lost explorer will be able to get those befroe and afters up to.
 
That place looks fantastic!! Doesn't look that trashed to me, you lot are just spoilt!!:mrgreen:
 
The garage is accessible again!?!

Jimbaaaaaaa, it's time to catch a bus!

I've been 3 or 4 times, and I love the place, but I've never (yet!) been in the garage...

the garage is doable but quite knackered,its a nice place to be honest i realy do like this place and love the feeling the buildings give off.
