Report - Central Fire Station, Nottingham, September 2016

[stranton]

A lot of the equipment remains & the electricity is on,
some of the lights are on sensers & turn on as you walk along a corridor or access a room.
On hearing the release of a side roller shutter,
secca drove in circulating the court yard & drove out.
The walkway connecting the Guidehall & Magistrates court is locked, chain & padlock.
I had no problem doing this, hadn't been as relaxing as I wanted but worth the effort.

Central Fire Station, Nottingham by stranton

Opened on Shakespeare street in 1938,
(never had an opening ceremony because of the war).
The exterior has a portland stone front facade & brick rear overlooking a court yard,
the interior has a art deco style marble foyer & stair case with some wood panel rooms.
Theres a walkway leading to the Guidehall & magistrates court,
a bar, games room, kitchen & diner remain in situ.
Closed in september 2016, accompanied by a farewell ceremony with veteran engines
services being transfered to a new fire station on London road.

Your quick on n there it only shut its doors a week ago

 

[stranton]

never did find the pole,
assuming its opposite side of fire engine workshops, (Photograph 8)
didn't want to risk being in view of the whole street.

Good effort stranton, I like that.

I like the way the trophy cupboard of this abandoned building has more in it than some football clubs.
