Hello, I am back (sort of)
I have been gone for quite a while but decided to take a look at this place especially after not having gone back for a year
This is quite a short post as did not manage to get enough photos as I would have liked to...
The place is very much the same and not much has really changed, but it is still worth a look.
HISTORY:
HISTORY:
The Point is an entertainment complex in Central Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. When it opened in 1985, it was called the UK's first multiplex cinema although the UK had introduced multi-screen cinemas in 1930 and had been increasing the number of screens in cinemas ever since. The front part of the building has a distinctive mirrored crystal ziggurat shape, framed by external steel beams at each corner, joined at the apex. Originally it had red neon lights connecting the apexes at each side, so that it looked like a pyramid at night.
In May 2012, the building's owners Hammerson announced proposals to demolish the building and replace it with a retail-based development.[On 6 March 2014, Milton Keynes Council voted to approve the application. On 26 February 2015, the Odeon cinema to the rear of the building closed, in preparation for the demolition. Historic England had refused to recommend the building for listed status.
