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
