Abandoned buildings in Derby left to decay.

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Damn, never realised there were so many abandoned buildings around Derby. The large houses at the start, I really don't understand why such beautiful buildings are left to rot like that.

[@scotta1102]

So many homeless people and at the same time, so many people-less homes. Seems like there should be a solution there somewhere? Nice work highlighting all those places!

[@iknowbest5034]

You don't give houses to drug addicts. Don't be stupid.

[@TheSadButMadLad]

We're in the process of trying to buy a house that's been unoccupied for 12 years. It's taken a year just to be able to view it. It'll probably be another year before we can buy it as negotiations drag on. Sometimes, something things take a long time.

Sad But Mad Lad yep, their agenda is control......

[@paulchapman1056]

Thanks for showing these buildings, there are many more also in decline. Much of the city has been in constant decline since the 1980's. The only positive development in the private sector currently taking place is the complete overhaul of the site behind the old Debenhams on Victoria Street. How long though before that is halted in the current economic climate? All other development of recent date in the city center is large ugly student development inappropriate with the otherwise good architecture of the older town.

Neglect of property should be criminalised

Great video

[@NBMedia8928]

Ah cheers mate, as you know this is only a small fraction of the empty buildings around Derby!

[@christinestevenson7227]

This hotel was horrible whenever I stayed there u could hear everything outside I never been able sleep once whenever I was there

[@petercole5596]

I live in Chesterfield it's the same here . The town has never recovered from the lose of industry in the 1990s now parts of the town have rows of empty shops and closed pubs complete with once grand hotel left to rot the market place is a haven for drug dealers and street drinkers and homeless people sat in doorways. I grew up here but I no longer recognise the place .

[@stevegarside4667]

The buildings at the start of the video are being demolished, this is in front of the old DRI, they are building a new housing estate there. So hardly "abandoned".

[@NBMedia8928]

They were very much abandoned 2 years ago when this video was filmed

[@stevegarside4667]

@@NBMedia8928 I think you need to look up the definition of the word "abandoned". It is clearly a demolition site which is a far cry from a simple forgotten about building.

[@Liz-hz6dd]

The buildings at the beginning are park of the old DRI site. They’re gona be knocked down to make way for a new housing development.

Good video once again Nosey. You could write to Mr Nicholas van Hoogstraten. C/O The Courtlands Hotel 19-27 The Drive, Hove, Brighton BN3 3JE He may be interested in making enquiries regarding purchasing and doing up the first properties especially. If you haven't heard of him, Google him. He's quite a colourful character, has had documentaries made about him even. A very wealthy man indeed and loves buying up properties etc. Not bad for a man who started off with a stamp collection (He now has a collection of properties around the World, a palace he is building down in East Sussex that is bigger than Buckingham Palace, gold and diamond mines in Africa etc, etc).

[@Itwasalieallthistime]

The council won't do them up for homeless people are you crazy ...the council doesn't give two hoots about people sleeping rough theirs no money in it for them !!

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Lead thieves operating. Ripping out rain water valleys, ripped out copper pipes and wires. No questions asked to scrap merchants. Water ingress rotting out rafters and floors. This justifies their choice of demolition as costs exceeds returns.

[@mikeyates6752]

I think the rangemoor park hotel deserves a closer inspection Nosey...

[@NBMedia8928]

I think you could be right 👍

[@carlabrownhill7752]

Yeah, but look at them now, beautiful.

[@bradley-]

There still standing today I don't know how thay have not nocked them down and thay started building a new building

[@mrichards55]

Looks grim up Derby. We need new industry to make these places thrive once again.

'Terrible' St Peters Quarter Hotel in Derby forced to close - 2015

[@ddhh5]

Wasting buildings and wasting lives.

[@level5822]

Construction site can mean it's being demolished lol.

[@gylligangarbo6092]

WAGE these homes should be converted into music practice and recording space for anarchists looking to record demos for making a living in the music business

[@donaldmason4959]

So many homeless and Agricultural land built on!

[@darkmagician5428]

No doubt owned by some foreign investors for tax purposes

[@mrichards55]

Or maybe, cash in a Russian bank account = bad, UK land and property = perfectly fine.

[@doric_historic]

Unoccupied, not making money, how strange. Should be a good spot for a new Aldi or Lidl.

[@buddha1736]

Don’t worry king🤴Boris Johnson and the Conservatives will sort it out with the dodgy Brexit deal lol 😂 more decay to come I recon. 😉😂
