As seen on BBC East Midlands Today 19/05/2025 and BBC Radio Derby and Derby Live. On 17th May 2025 the former Derby Hippodrome Theatre suffered from yet another fire, this time it damaged a lot of what roof remained. I arrived on site at 8am on May 18th find a demolition crew setting up heavy plant. I asked the foreman if they were demolishing it but he said no, "were just removing the roof to make it safe". Moments later they were demolishing the walls ! All seems very suspicious to me as there clearly is no effort being made to retain anything at all ! As you can see at the start of my video the wall running along Macklin street is in perfect condition and yet they demolished pretty much half of it. They finished demolition for the day at 1pm and will be returning Monday, I guess there wont be anything left by the end of Monday. Built in 1914 (Edwardian) and grade II listed. ► Please like, Share, subscribe and turn on notifications. Feel free to share the link to Facebook, X or to anyone you think would like to see it. Best viewed on a large computer screen or smart TV as this is recorded in 4K resolution with great music so a real waste watching it on a small phone screen. Did you know you can cast it to your smart tv from the YouTube app? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Credits : Track 1 : 'Uprising' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au Track 2 : 'Goliath' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au Track 3 : Clair de Lune (Pied au Piano) · Son Lux · Chris Pattishall ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information on my drone flying : ● My drone is a Class C0 drone sub-250g type, because its such a lightweight drone (236g), I'm allowed to fly it over residential and commercial property and people (but not crowds) without permission. ● I passed the theory test and have both valid flyer ID and Operator ID's. ● I have drone insurance (£5 million public liability insurance cover). ● I strictly follow all the CAA guidelines on flying my drone. ● I always fly in Cinematic mode (slow speed) as this is safer in urban environments. ● I plan all of my flights in advance of taking off to ensure I know my complete flight path and am aware of any obstacles in the way. ● In order to maintain VLOS (visual line of sight) with my drone I use extremely bright Strobe lights, if there are trees or buildings in my way then I have to land and carry on from a different location this means that I often have to join bits of flights together, I try and line up edits using telemetry to match altitude and position etc. but its not always possible to get good joins in clips so this can mean jump cuts and fades between clips. ● I carry out a risk assessment before each flight and ensure all batteries fully charged, GPS has a good fix etc. ● I always engage with anyone nearby informing them the reason for my flight.
