I decided to go check the former RAF Mildenhall bomb dump to see if anything was still there. After a long walk around the fields I got in. A large traveller site sits next to the dump and they had taken over most of it. So I could only see a small part. But the old cranes were well worth a look at.

I had heard about this place some time ago, and wondered whether anyone was going to try it. Like a lot of things I promptly forgot though!

Derby Engineers Social Club, Derby – July 2021

This former social club was started in 1919 by a group of six engineers and was based around a Georgian house known as ‘Elen Villa’ which was built in 1824. Various extensions were added through the 20th century as the club became more popular but was eventually wound up in 2013.

Earlier this year the buildings were sold and there is a planning application to demolish the redundant club buildings and concert rooms and construct some apartments in their place. The Georgian villa will be retained & converted.

Had a look at this a few years back but the car park was always in use and there would always be random lights on inside, so it seemed more faff than was probably worth it. Unfortunately entry has become easier after the place has been stripped bare and the large function room destroyed in a random blaze in April so not worth a thread of its own.

Totally bont out
