A view from the intact balcony of the hall and stage. Once the chrome
decking is removed you can see wha a great place this will once again be.

Another view from the balcony.

A view of the bar!! This is situated in the original position at the back wall of the
venue opposite to the stage.

Another view of that all important light refreshment area!!

Another shot of the bar for good measure. If you'll excuse the pun!!

Original art deco Tiffany style stained glass situated above the fire
exite doors, taken from the inside.

More period art deco features.

Original proscenium situated above the stage area. This motif
is continued throughout the building.

A closer view.

Even closer.

Another original plaster feature.

Disco days ceiling art. Also original skylight with plaster detail.

More disco days ceiling art.

Original cast iron radiator lurking behind some plaster board paneling.

Now arguably some of the most interesting pictures. The original projection
room is still present, and amongst the air conditioning that has been placed here
remains a number of original projectors. As far as I know
films have not been shown here since circa 1983, so it's amazing
these have been left to gather dust. Possibly with the weight and bulk of these
machines, it has just been easier to leave them be. How fantastic and spooky!

Another view

And another view

Inside the projector

The makers mark proudly displayed on the top of the projector.

Another view

I think this is some sort of old stage spotlight, but it could be another projector.

Another view

And another

Not sure exactly what this is, but it's "made in England", and is
something to do with film projection.

Another view amongst the rubble and dust.

This looks like some sort of service sheet for the equipment.

Some sort of old control centre.

Amongst the dust some old film reels lie.

Another view

No idea what this is...................
