PLEASE SPEND A FEW MOMENTS TO READ THE DESCRIPTION
BELOW. Thankyou!
*PLEASE NOTE: I DID NOT SHOOT THIS FOOTAGE.*
These are the FACTS. Up untill recently this Grade
II listed,Marshall and Tweedy designed Derby
Hippodrome was occupied by the 'Walkers' bingo
chain. Walkers did little to alter the
layout/style of the building except for removing
the seats from the stalls. Apart from being
slightly dusty up in the dress circle,upper circle
and backstage everything was pretty much just like
it was when it first opened its doors in 1914. Yes
folks,this building was unmolested,original and
waiting patiently to be used once more for theatre
go'ers of the east midlands. Despite theatre
groups being busy putting bids together it was
sold to a property developer for £375,000.
On 8/3/08 a fire broke out in the orchestra
pit.Derby police have since confirmed that it was
arson. The fire was confined to the stage and
decorative domed ceilng and part of the roof which
was directly above. Major damage was averted by
the 94 year old fire curtain. Even today it still
hangs firmly in place trying to protect what's
left of the theatre.
On 28/3/08 a demolition company was brought in to
make the roof 'safe'. What you see in this video
is the end result. All this destruction has
happened in the space of a couple of months.
YouTubers can draw their own conclusions. At first
glance the damage looks serious, the building is
built to last and is still structurally sound with
the roof repairs/demolition making things look far
worse than they really are.
On the 17/4/08 thru the High Court in London;
English Heritage,Theatres Trust and Derby City
Council will try to safeguard this theatre's
existence for future generations to enjoy. These
organisations actually welcome your comments and
support. So,if like the people of Derbyshire YOU
are also outraged by the demise of the Derby
Hippodrome (or have a spare million or three to
donate) then please e-mail them and express your
concerns.
NEWS UPDATE: 25/4/08 Derby Council wins our legal
battle for an injunction to stop the developer
demolishing the Hippo.Developer must now pay the
council 20k in legal fees.The fight still
continues!
NEWS UPDATE: 12/5/08 Officials were called to the
Hippodrome after trespassers fractured the water
main (??) causing some flood damage. YouTubers can
once again draw their own conclusions!!
To see what our gorgeous theatre once looked like
up untill a few months ago(and still could in the
future) just click on the other YouTube 'Derby
Hippodrome' clips and see for yourself,or visit

| Blaze at Hippodrome in Wrexham |
 |
FIREFIGHTERS are tackling a large blaze at
Wrexham's old Hippodrome.
Crews from Wrexham and Chirk, along with the
aerial ladder platform, were called out just after
1pm to the fire on the ground floor of the
building.
Henblas Street was cordoned off and shops nearby
closed.
Crowds of onlookers watched as first smoke,
followed by flames, billowed from the site.
Video footage sent in by Mark Gregory

These are the FACTS. Up untill recently this grade
II listed Marshall & Tweedy designed Derby
Hippodrome was occupied by the 'Walkers' bingo
chain. Walkers did little to alter the
layout/style of the building except for removing
the seats in the stalls to make way for bingo
tables. Apart from being slightly dusty up in the
dress circle,upper circle and backstage,
everything was pretty much as it was when it first
opened it's doors in 1914. Yes folks, this

decorative domed ceiling directly above. Major
damage was averted by the 94 year old fire
curtain. Even today it now hangs in place trying
to guard what's left of the theatre.

the end result. Not even a Hollywood script writer
could beat this story. All this destruction has
happened in the space of a couple of months.
