derelictCHEESEBURGERRe-Visit to the old American Adventure Theme Park in Derbyshire. Development is supposed to be starting this year so i decided to take a trip to see what parts i had missed in my last video. Had a lovely walk around the lake, but had to double back on myself due to the developers destroying some of the path meaning you can no longer walk all the way around the lake. Found parts of the rapids, The missile and even found a golf ball in the lake. instagram.com/derelictashley - Instagram Page

I’ll be back !
History - Opening in 1902 the hospital was used as an Asylum and even acted as an RAF hospital during WW2 before being handed back to the public shortly after. It closed in 1997 with major demolition work being carried out for a new housing estate that changed the landscape forever.
Strangely not all of the hospital was demolished and random buildings that were once all connected over a huge site are now scattered all over.
I hope to return here and make a more in depth video showing what remains in more detail. I had great fun walking around, the wildlife was stunning with hundreds of butterfly’s & wildflowers taking over the once occupied space between what’s left of the buildings.RAF Puma Helicopter Formation Flyover - DerbyderelictCHEESEBURGER2021-07-07 | To celebrate 50 years of service a formation of 10 Puma helicopters flew over the country with one of its stops the National arboretum.

He refused and the beggar screamed a curse "for every branch to fall off the old oak tree, a member of the earls family would die".
Today - The oak tree still remains and chains can still be seen, sadly i noticed once looking back at the footage that lots of chains have vanished since my previous visits. This is something i have noticed before. Sadly people cant leave things alone. Its a nice little walk in the woods and is fairly close to Alton Towers. usic: Angelic Forest - Doug Maxwell, Media Right Productions youtu.be/vXuY_7KbwFQDerby Hippodrome - Abandoned TheaterderelictCHEESEBURGER2018-07-18 | Return to the Derby Hippodrome. The building dates back to 1914 making it over 100 years old. The theater has changed its role over the years from hosting big names to being a bingo hall shortly before its closure. after its closure it was bought by "Christopher Anthony" who instead of carrying out repairs to make the building safe again, got a big digger and caved in the roof and the whole stage area. there is video evidence of this and there is no way it was not intentional. The building lies ruined and keeps being attacked by arsonists causing more and more of this once grand theater to be lost and collapse.

The Explore- Explore was fantastic until we reached the middle section of the hospital where the ballroom once stood. We saw local youths on the roof with a hammer smashing the roof tiles and supports, we talked to them with one seeming to accept his mistakes but the others had no care. We left them be after talking and then we saw they were throwing slates and rocks in our direction. We went back inside before being told to get out by a female officer who was very understanding and had a chat about the youths and the Hospital site. The main youth who had the hammer had fled the scene so he sadly wasn't detained.We were then asked to leave with escort of 2 police cars and a van. After leaving the youths decided they didn't like that we had told the police about their mate and that i had filmed them causing criminal damage. They then waited and followed us whilst hurling verbal abuse into Denbigh and even came to the castle to do the same. Crazy stuff.
