Hi all, a few weeks ago i posted a thread about a visit my friend and i made to the old Co-op building in Hull. Well today we returned there to take some more pictures and share them with you all.
The nightclub closed down in 1991 much of it to do with the rising drug problem that was giving the place a bad reputation.
The main building which was part of the Co-op group when it opened was various shop departments throughout all the floors, all the shop floors were decorated very grand, with marble walls and fancy hard wood floors and polished brass and mahogony adorning the doors and wall and stairs, sadly over time the co-op closed and the building became used as rather elaborate market with cheap fashions and other items. the top part of the building (the nightclub) had over the years plied its trade under a variety of names and was very successful under all of them but come 1991 the end came and the place closed its doors to the outside world.
the place became forgotten about and the windows eventually got bricked up and in moved the pikies and out moved the copper etc...
The place has been cleared out some what since i last got in there 2 years ago but it smells of pigeons and piss and it is still a wrecked dump. Anight visit would be good.
But anyway enough of the waffle yawn yawn... hope you like the pics
Please correct my history if any of it is wrong it all from memory..
looking up at one of the rear staircases
old service and goods elevator, note the brass floor indicator above
main nightclub area, the echo in here was so cool cool cool cool cool
dance floor
cant believe this is still up
hey gringo you hungry
bit out of date
love the retro feel
wonder how many famous people have used this dressing room mirror
the kitchen beyond
club entrance
gotta love the lifts
old papers left lying around
the clock mechanism up close
the lift motors are relatively untouched
beyond the fire door
what a staircase
down on top of the dummy waiter there was a bundle wrapped up like a dead body?????
really cool bottle wall
this came out better then expected
one of two locked safes???
the extensive use of marble stretches throughout the shop floors
painting on one wall is great
which floor and department please
one can only imagine what if anything is left in the locked safe???
always follow the rules
all the shop floors are like this now, cleared out and bare
i have found some wierd crap in places but come on, really....
the world beyond and no one knew we was here
