Report - Robins Cinema, Camberley - 22/10/06

[Oxygen Thief]

Visited today with Clayderman.

A once grand art deco building now standing empty awaiting 'development'.

Opened in 1932 and closed in 2003, some history can be found here...

Actually, inside this building is in very good condition, and it's just stacked full of interesting stuff.

So first, here's the outside, the main screen, the projector, batteries and stuff..

Then, we found a spare lens for the projector and decided to do some of our own cinematography, which worked quite well...

So sorry to see the old place in this condition, worked there in the 1970's when Neville Hartley was manager. It was always supposed to be haunted, did anyone ever see anything?

No mate, we visited the one on this planet, where ghosts don't exist.

Well that didn't take long.

Very nice! I've lived nearby to this place for a while and I'd hoped to go see it before it was demolished but no luck.
