Solo visit whilst at work today...:thumb

Been wanting to get in here for a LONG time now, and finally today I saw my opening.

Pikies have been in by all accounts and stripped a lot of cabling, and pipework, thus flooding the cellar.

Quite a lot remains of the places former use as a cinema including the now empty projectionists booths, and various spare seats around the place.

This is the Gala / Ritz Bingo hall in Nuneaton. It was a theatre and cinema before being converted to a bingo hall in the mid eighties. The interior is Grade II listed. It closed in 2007 and has been left to slowly deteriorate ever since. I worked there between 1994-98.

Did you go in the secret tunnels behind the stage and down into the basement, I've heard there's little rat runs all round that building

Beautiful that, they've kept the interior really nice!

What was behind the 'no female staff' door?

I saw a photo of that door from when it was still open, rather notorious in the Cinema world. I was looking at old reports to see if they featured the two handwheels, trying to work out what room they were in.
