Robins Cinema. At present the best and most intact cinema i have visited, consisted of four screens one very large and three smaller ones including projection rooms with the projectors still remaining. Entry to the buildings was easy as the doors were open and those which were boarded had been ripped open.
Visited with Clayderman and The Riddlers
We entered through the window and came out into the ground floor which had been used as a snooker hall. It was trashed. The roof had caved in, the floor was soaked and there was broken glass and fire damage everywhere. It didnt look good. We headed up the stairs and this is where the fun started.
The cinema started on the upper floors with the main screen in front and the little ones around the corner we took a few photos of the lobby before heading into screen 1. Wow, the seats and screen remained undamaged and it looked like you could reopen the next day!. A few photos and we headed into the projection room. The films lay by the side and the projectors some still loaded stood upright in the center.
After a few pictures we headed on to discover two more smaller screens each with its own projection room. On of which had the projector behind the screen being bounced off a mirror!. We took a some photos then headed up onto the roof. A quick group shot and fag break later we headed back down and out. Taking a few more photos on the way!.
UPDATE: Sadly the scum set fire to the building not to long after our visit which has completly destroyed it. |
