Archived Report - Cine City Withington, Manchester 7/10/07

Cine City is the oldest cinema in Manchester, it closed in 2001 and it is now in a sorry state inside. Watch your step doesn’t quite cover it… dead pidgeons and pidgin skeletons everywhere, ripped up floor boards, quite a few nails sticking out of the floor.

The access was comedy! But it was a thoroughly enjoyable explore.

I know it has been reported before so we have tried to keep the pictures original, visited with Ginja Ninja and Adamn.

I’ll stop rambling now, here are the pics:

Projection room for screens 2 & 3


This is one of the old projector bulbs, on the warning sticker it states, “WARNING: Danger of bulb explosion” just after reading that Ginja Ninja managed to dropped it and yes, the warning sticker was right! Sounded like a gun shot!
