Good work @Speed will be happy, we got distracted by a rather lengthy game of Billiards in which we were shit, I blame it on the lack of chalk and the fact the bar was closed

Timelapse to follow once edited lol

Fantastic report One of the best I've seen on here Amazing the amount of stuff still in the building as well as original features Shame you didn't get any pictures of the fly tower would of been interesting to of seen that

..Shame you didn't get any pictures of the fly tower would of been interesting to of seen that

There isn't/wasn't a separate fly tower and I didn't see any scenery shifting gear - maybe it had gone or the place was never a fully fledged theatre.

Incidentally the pool tables have now gone - broken up to recover the slate bases for reuse according to a demolition worker.

I was saying they would make soneone a fine kitchen worktop!
