Stay good? The idiots have already been in, I just didn't think anyone wanted to see shots of shit child graffiti or smashed light fittings.

Some history borrowed from Cinema Treasures;




Missed out on this one last year, so was nice hear it was open and finally get it ticked off. Currently up for sale for £660,000 if you fancy it!

Aside from some slight pikey and idiot damage the inside is in fairly good order

Former projector room

Old signage

Thanks for looking​

Nice pictures and a great find.

Better state than I thought it was given how long it’s been there good shots !! I’ve literally just attempted to get in... however was someone running around inside - but the way I found in was quite dangerous unless your a great climber is this the way you went in? I’m gonna go back during the day ... probably not come across anyone then

Hi Tim

No, I didn't take one I'm afraid. It was a bit featureless and pretty dark with a modern bar area and loads of wires and crap hanging from the ceiling thanks to pikies.

There might be a shot in Speeds older report from 2019
