🎭 Derby Hippodrome, England. This long abandoned theatre collapsed, and nature took over. It was demolished earlier this year. 1914-2005 ☠️

Collapsed Hippodrome, England

This Collapsed Hippodrome was once a hive of showbiz talent and entertainment. In 1914 it opened as a theatre. It has been derelict since the late 2000s.

The stage is overgrown with trees and plants, and torn, white curtains hang from the proscenium arch. The ceiling and roof are partially collapsed, revealing the sky. The foreground shows the crumbling seating area with rusted metal railings and debris.

Derby Hippodrome: Blaze treated as arson

A fire which took almost 20 hours to put out at a 100-year-old derelict theatre is being treated as arson.

@chewie
Indeed, one of several fires sadly this one led to the demolition

@ObsidianUrbex Yeah, it's a shame.

The fires were rather "convenient"...
