The three-storey Art Deco building on Cavendish Street is occupied by homeware retailer Boyes on the ground floor but above that has remained empty since the Department nightclub closed its doors for the last time a decade ago.

Ahead of the auction on May 26, the Derbyshire Times went for a snoop around the old nightclub to see what remains.
