Cannon / ABC Cinema, Doncaster The Explore Myself and a few friends stumbled upon this place by complete chance. We're new urban explorers, still young and we were completely in awe of how untouched the place was (atleast compared to other sites we have visited). We were even more surprised to...

ABC Cinema Evening all, another one from the archives, honestly I had to search one of my own pics to remember what this place was lol. I believe I went here with my maiun noin forum exploring mate, around the same time as everyone else but is nicer than I remember though. Stolen...

Just a quickie to celebrate being somewhat back in the game! Bournemouth has been a hot spot for cinema exploring a for a few years now but I had never really put too much effort into getting into the ABC. It certainly seemed to be the lesser of the three available cinemas after being subjected...

The ABC Westover, originally the Westover Super Cinema opened on the 19th June 1937. It was built for and operated by Associated British Cinemas (ABC), and was designed by their architect William Riddle Glen, featuring all the art deco flamboyance that one would expect of the period. The cinema...

History Often referred to as ABC Ripponlea studios, the ABC Gordon Street Centre is actually in Elsternwick, Melbourne, but is located on what was once part of the neighbouring Rippon Lea estate. In the mid-1950s, the Australian Government (Commonwealth) on behalf of the Australian Broadcasting...

One thing i have noticed over the years is that epic cinema explores seem to come in two flavours. The standard being your Streatham Hill, Grays State, Hulme Hippodrome examples of amazing untouched originality and then the other being your Preston, Bournemouth, Aylesbury and of course Bradford...

ABC Theatre/Cinema Liverpool After gaining access climbing several rooftops we were in. An explore I’ve wanted to do since my urbex days started, before that even. One of the best preserved places I’ve been to. We first got the circle from behind the stage and were surprised of a light being...

ABC Cinema, formerly known as Granada Theatre was a permanent fixture at the bottom of Lower Stone Street, in Maidstone, Kent. There are a few other reports of the same location, and I thought i'd post some of my own images well to add to the collection. The building itself is reasonably...

Another one of those that I've had on the radar for a few years, since we begun exploring. With it's position in close proximity to our arrival point in Liverpool, we always found the time to check it and in late January after countless attempts, we finally succeeded. Visited with @The...

I had always written off bothering to explore the ABC, as it wasn't that exciting when it was open. But summer came, and I can never pass up on theatres and cinemas so I gave it a bash. The ABC Bournemouth was the very last ABC cinema in the country, and was kept going to distinguish it from...

I'm sure most of seen that recently some "youtubers" explored this place and living in the area and knowing about it for ages but not actually thinking you could get in we decided to go check this place out last night. Here is a brief history of it I found online: The Westover Super Cinema was...

I grew up in Nuneaton, and ever since I was a lad I've wanted to have a mooch in this building. My grandfather was actually a projectionist here in the mid 40's and was telling me only recently about switching on the spotlights to illuminate the organ just before a performance. I used to look up...

SUP This place was roughly an hour from us and mentioned to me by a fellow urbexer on instagram (go follow him @ epicsp101 and myself at @ cjxplores). It definitely was one to remember for the experience and the sights! I worked in VUE cinema for over a year so ticking off an abandoned cinema...
