This is a 1920s theatre and cinema, later a Bingo Hall in the centre of Durham. Been abandonded for a good 30 years+. Very little chaving as you'll see and lots of period 1960's/70's style. Massive place and a great explore.
I think this was the first time this place had been explored as it was well secured up until we found an unlikely access. I went in with a couple of other 28DL guys. Access is still possible as there's lots of new reports still being posted on 28DL about this place since I added my report a few weeks ago.
By a stroke of luck power was still on and I found the master switch for the house lights, and what lights still worked came up helping photography a bit.
The exterior, not much to look at the front but its massive round the back.
This bar is straight put of the 70s!
The stalls
Balcony - note the remains of ornate wall decoration
Projectionist room, whats in here?
Chain driven film winding
Managers office
Bingo days:
Some other misc shots
