Evening,
In reference to this post http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=40888 I did take a look around the place before it was semi knocked down. The whole place stunk of stale smoke, which is probably the very reason why it was closed down, at least as a bingo hall anyway.
Not much was left to remind you that the place used to be a cinema, except for the old projector rooms etc. and a few rows of seats on the upper tier. Evidence of bingo was everywhere. Store rooms were full of old books of tickets and posters all over the place.
Sorry for the *long* delay in posting, but I took the pictures during a period when 28dl was closed/open/closed/closing/newbies not able to post etc. :) And then I forgot.....
