more coming soon!!

been trying to get in there for ages. Nice one.
How did you manage it? PM me.

Dude, brilliant shots, just a shame about the quality. Get a good camera and get back in, some of those shots would look mint!!!

Wow, that's a really nice explore. That mural's fantastic!
That ashtray looks as though it's dissolved. Was it a glass one? It looks as if it had been set fire to, but how on earth did it leave the table unburnt? Very strange! Good stuff!

great photos can we have a bit of info on this place as it looks great but in a bit of a sorry state it looks like it could have some great history behind the building.....

there is a bit about it on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_theatre,_Swansea
also they have a web page for it http://pavrep.org/index.php

another site

http://www.theatre-wales.co.uk/venues/venues_details.asp?venue_ID=78

was well known as a gay club, and later a rave/ dance venue before closing
hosted newyears party in 2004/05
from what i can gather the pavillion group are now inactive.

Very interesting place. Nice pics although shame about the picture quality.

If you ever plan a return trip, drop me a PM, I'll come along.

Know the building well, i belive its up for sale!.

What a find, it looks very grandiose!

Does anybody know the current status of the place? The for sale signs came down some time ago and yet still nothing has happened, did it not sell or do new owners have plans? There have been rumors for a few years that the place will become a block of apartments, anyone heard anything like that?

A bit late, i know...

Just to answer FoxLady, the ashtray appeared to have had something burnt in it, been smashed, then resembled (poorly)

another bit of info i found as well
