Mecca Bingo Halifax was a bingo hall in a striking Art Deco building on the corner of Broad Street and Orange Street (HX1 1YA), on the edge of Halifax town centre. Built as the Odeon Cinema by architect George Coles, it opened in June 1938 with 2,058 seats. Its distinctive façade featured...

First report here so apologies if not perfect. Would love any feedback! Brief history, some of this thanks to cinema treasures: History The Gaumont palace (as it was first known, not long after becoming just the “Gaumont”) was opened to the public in 1932 as a theatre and cinema right in the...

Alright basically its pretty known now but i originally opened it last year it was completely un touched when i first went its connected to a hidden brothel that was apart of a hotel above it i used to go there alot as at the time of me opening it there was power but recently people have caused...

I'm really surprised nobody has gone there yet. It has a cinema right next to it, large offices and an underground pub, abandoned for years. I'm surprised nobody here went. Well, I saw some guys on tiktok go a long time ago. I went in aswell once, but security came essentially always after I...

May 2026 Finally managed to tick this one off after nearly three years of regularly checking on it. About 18 months ago, I put in a fair bit of effort to gain access and made it as far as the cellar—only to find there was no way up into the main building. So, it was back to periodic visits and...

From the pics and vids I’ve seen of other explorers Hulme Hippodrome is genuinely one of the most beautiful intreriors I have seen for an abandoned building. It really reminds me of FNAF. I was wondering if anyone knew any other entry points besides scaffolding since most of the windows are...

The Hulme Hippodrome, originally known as the Grand Junction Theatre and Floral Hall, opened in Preston Street, Hulme, Manchester, on 7 October1901. It and the nearby Playhouse Theatre in Warwick Street, built at the same time, were part of the theatrical empire of W. H. Broadhead. The two...

Me and @C&A visited the dreaded Elysium theatre today. After 2 previous attempts we had once again been fooled by the way in (we always skip the easy way first accidentally ) also getting spooked 2 minutes after entering by more urbexers wanting to come in who had saw us enter (that’s a first...

All solo jaunts. I suppose I'm not as active an explorer as I would like to be, even now that I don't work as many hours as I once did. A decade ago it was simply not having enough money or a car, now it's juggling work and being a dad. That means although I think about exploring every day of...

Streatham Hill Theatre Streatham Hill Theatre, located in south London, opened in 1929 as a grand venue for live performance, designed by W.G.R. Sprague in an opulent Art Deco style. Initially hosting variety shows, musicals, and plays, it was one of the largest and most prestigious suburban...

Introduction Me and @JakeV50 weren’t even planning to do this one, but we stopped nearby as Jake had to make a phone call, but decided to give it a go as we were nearby. Information & History Coleg Harlech was a residential adult education college for mature students. It was founded in 1927 to...

In some ways I was a little too late here, despite this The Pavilion Theatre Theatre is by far one of the better theatres I've ever had the pleasure of exploring. The winter gardens in Blackpool is a miss match patchwork of epic buildings from Blackpools glory days of entertainment and in the...

This is a historic theater with a rich cultural legacy. Constructed in 1920, it officially opened its doors in 1923, serving as a venue for theater performances, cinema screenings, and social events such as dances. The theater quickly became a central hub for the town’s cultural and social life...

Explore - Been wanting to explore some sort of cinema for a while and after a few failed attempts in Liverpool thought I’d give this one a go. Never been happier to finally see the classic red pews. We could have spent longer inside as I believe the old school projector has been left behind but...
