Your quote "it felt obscene that something so special could be left without purpose". A sentiment all us viewers/subscribers feel to the max. Another great video, please keep 'em coming. (P.S. that magnificent clock - Jeez).

The reason why it's been left so easy to get in because they can't knock it down because I would assume its listed building.. so they are hoping someone sets fire to it.. then they can knock it down.

I hope the national trust might take this on, as a museum site for the local population. It's sad it's being left to decay.

The beds in the dormitory in the fire station ore for the crews working the night shift , stand down is between midnight and 7am where you are permitted to sleep but obviously respond to calls during that time , the lockers are for bedding and personal effects and clothing .

The beds in the fire station are for the night shift when there not busy and no fire to attend too 🤔👍

I think it's wonderful that you are recording these old buildings for posterity. One day they will be gone, and without some sort of record being made, people will never even know that these amazing buildings existed.

Wow. Greetings from Notts. Cool to see you guys in my city.

The art deco architecture of the police and fire stations gives a modern contrast to the 1888 court building. Clean uncluttered design. In the fire station where the vehicles were kept are entrance doors at the rear and exit doors onto the street. On returning from a call engines drive to the rear of the building for cleaning before entering the garage entrance doors, parked nose to the front exit doors ready for a swift emergency exit from the front.

The Paper Drill at 11:32 is a beauty

Fantastic explore. Really interesting watch. Loved the history as well. 😊❤👍

Fascinating place in every way. It seems that all over, all our history and historical buildings are left to rot so that we having left, all in favour of cheapness. I visit Nottingham fairly regularly for college. The court room was pretty impressive too - stark contrast between the stark cold cells and the opulent, warm offices. Great video with awesome music too!

Such a shame that so many of these beautiful old buildings fall into ruin and disrepair due to the increasing running and maintenance costs. Hoping a passionate and wealthy trust or private owner takes it on and turns into something useful for the public for educational or good recreational purposes.

Fantastic explore! Stunning architecture! 😁

With the risk of fire or other damage, I'm shocked these name panels with dates from before that building was constructed have been left. They may have been from the previous town hall.

Fantastic explore and video lads with some amazing architecture. Once again we see a wonderful building being left to rot. The sooner we as a society wake up and are able to prosecute our local and national governments for the woeful disrespect for the property we own and the disrespect shown for some of the contents (like the name boards) the better. I also wonder what the electricity bill is for all the power over the many years that the building has been vacant. Having personally owned and totally refurbished homes between 300 & 100 years old, you cannot tell me that these buildings could not be repurposed and put back into use.

Another top quality video. The pride you take in your work is there for all to see, thanks!

With the council being bankrupt it frustrates me that such a wonderful city space is left abandoned with power on, pidgeon droppings everywhere.

Another quality explore. Criminal that such heritage is squandered this way. That would make a fantastic arts and community hub.

I am new to your channel .Your description and history of a once beautiful building are great! It's just so sad to see such a lovely place neglected and forgotten about .Thank you guys and stay safe .😁

You guys do such a great job of documenting these locations.....Love your channel. ..!

A great video and the building is lovely like the architecture in the main lobby area. The wood panelling in the courts just so awesome. I really enjoyed the video thank you for filming this.

19:21 those spirals resemble something else too. Quite an odd design for a police station.

Absolutely amazing video thanks

Isn't it interesting how the brutalist prison cells and hallway give way to wooden panelled and civilised benching with an air of importance. Demonstrates how design and furniture can dictate feelings.

Brilliant as usual guys

Hi guys! Very interesting historic place. Loved it. Thanks for the video.

I'm surprised that they left the oak panels with former mayors' names. That's part of the civic history of Nottingham.

Another great video lads .

Nice to see a video of you in nottingham city centre

The beds in the fire station would have been for the fire fighters on night shift, they don't just stay awake all night, they are allowed to sleep.

nice upload again fellas, thoroughly captivating and intersting video, thanks for showing us this as always

Great video really enjoyed this keep up the great work Thankyou so much stay safe please 🙏. 👍💯

The dormitory in the Fire Station section was most likely intended for the firefighters’ night shifts, we function identically at the hospital where I work. 😊

considering it was a fire station, ever think the beds might have been for the firefighters on call or on duty at night?

What an building! Great tour, fellas!

Some people dream of being footballers, singers, actors…. Not me, I dream of being part of the Urbandoned team 😂. I’ve always had a fascination of derelict/abandoned buildings. So many amazing buildings just left to rot. So many to explore! I remember me and my mate finding the old RAF Newton village by chance in Notts (used in This Is England) we couldn’t believe it! Spent hours exploring all the empty houses. It’s gone now.

Wow all that detail, it’s all gonna be wasted now

Considering the City Council is bankrupt, why on earth is the power just left running in this building? What an absolute waste of money

very good

I use to work at the Debenham store in Nottingham (and Bristol in fact!), would love to see a video of the abandoned building now.

That would make an awesome club

How on God's Green Earth is that left to rot? Absolutely amazing architecture. Honestly this video was depressing, like a symbol of how far things have declined for the country in such a short space of time.

Government departments shouldn't spend millions moving to new premises unless they've got a long-term plan for grade listed buildings that they leave.

Disturbing that a concious decision has been made by people tasked with making important decisions about our lives have alloed this building to fall into such a disrespectful state if disrepair.

It's sad to think that nothing may never get done as the city council is in dire straits money wise. Or, they'll probably go to some housing developers. I hope, like someone said, that they will be preserved as a museum.

It’s so sad to see a beautiful building like this in a prime location functionless, rotting away.

omg, I was just talking about this place and wondering what it was like inside. Such a waste that it's empty. I wish something could be done. I think the forest fixtures are from the 1995/96 season by the way, which matches up with when everyone moved out.

11:34 That machine is not used for printing, but for drilling holes in the spine of the paper stack to assemble a ring binder. This machine was introduced in 1988, so absolutely no the 60s :)

Fire fighters work in shifts,they live at the station while on their shift, I think they work 1 week on,one off. At least this is how they do it in the U.S, I'm assuming they do the same there. I'm sure if that's the case then you also found a kitchen, bathroom and shower room in that same area.

crazy to see how much notts skyline has changed in just a few years

Question for us who do not live there our those ships and building still standing I live in Oregon thanks for sharing guys

Is this accessible for public?

Can you still find a way into the courthouse at the moment? Got into the fire / police station but got lost on how to get to the courts

🔥🔥🔥

Those wooden plaques are to remember & commemorate important people. All those names will be lost if it alll gets destroyed .

i grew up in nottingham

How did you get in?

Love

Some Fire Unions are allowed to sleep if they are on night shift and there are no call outs,un believable eh?

how do you get in?

night shift firefighters, every full-time station has them, fires don't just erupt in daytime fella.

where abouts is the entrance?

Such a grand, wasted building that public money 💰 has been invested on in the past. It's no wonder the local council has gone bust with monumental waste like this! I'd like to see it turned into a state of the art homeless facility, so there are never any homeless people sleeping rough on the streets of nottingham. With in house support, rehabilitation and training facilities, so they can get off any substance or alcohol addiction and get some basic job skills or training. Or even commercial use like a lavish indoor market, especially after the one in the victoria centre is closing now. It would also make a grand, high end hotel / bar restaurant / nightclub / casino. Or just turn it into a fantastic multimedia, museum / art gallery / exhibition / education, training or conference space? 😮🤔

😮😮😮😮

Forest fixtures are from 1995/96 season

1995/96 season.

Why tell us about stuff (map), if your not going to show it?

Amazing that none of it is full of gtaffitti.

Urgh, it’s so messed up. We’re crying out for social and affordable housing in this country. Why not make this into affordable homes? Keep lots of the original features, keep the building alive. While also keeping struggling people in homes.

I know where I'd be if I was homeless
