Up untill i hit this place my trip seemed to be going down the pan fast. Only three successful explores out of more than ten trys was a bit poor, expecialy after two or three of the 'definates' turned out to not be definates anymore!!
However, after much persistance im pleased to bring you the Burnley Empire! A simply stunning small theater, closed since 1995 im convinced im the only person to have been in there in many many years, there was no sign of any damage untill i set my first foot down on the stage and it dissapeared through into the basement. The whole place is the worst case of dry rot ive ever encountered, you simply cannot trust anything, the circle, athough mint in the pics, is close to major collapse with a large part of the stairs allready gone under its own weight. Its very deceptive! The Gallery has been closed off for years and is a stunning time warp, check the toilets for example! One of the very best!
