Derelict Building

[Maryjane]

There is a derelict building ready to be demolished in Merseyside. It is in the Liverpool Echo. If anyone is interested.

I assume you mean this http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/44856, which may well be worth a look if it ever becomes accessible.

Deffo one to keep a close eye on. Would like to see in there.

There's another one which could be of interest, former Carlton Cinema in Orrell Park http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/50786.

Was last a bingo place, been shut for years, apparently due to be turned into shops/carwash https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/historic-liverpool-bingo-hall-set-18839051.

Probably longer than if it had been levelled for a new lidl .. Have you checked them both out recently? I remeber looking at the Carlton years ago but it was still operating back then.

Nothing doing as of a couple of weeks ago - I check them every few months.

I checked them both out recently. Both sealed up tight..

Planning documents show that the carlton still has the bingo hall inside. Looked worse for wear outside, but no idea on the state of the inside.

The Abbey has been pretty stripped too, according to the heritage report.
