The cinema first opened in the 1930's as the Regal which was later converted into the ABC with a tripple screen layout. The two smaller screens where placed under the main room. The cinema was later renamed to the Cannon and closed shortly after in 1997. I used to go there as a kid so it was good to see all the behind the scenes stuff despite the damage. Went exploring with Earnie99_uk who put up his report a couple of days ago.
The water is getting high in there and is higher than wellies so waders or similar will be needed if you want to stay dry. There is some asbestos looking material behind the main cinema screen and mercury on the floor in the arc room which is poisonous of-course.
Cinema 1
Massive horn for filling the cinema with sound
Front of the stage
Random ball of barb wire
behind the curve of the cinema
Anyone for a swim in the basement? The waters really high now!
Not sure what these are for...plenty dotted about the place
Winch for the stage area
Careful up there!
Hooks to hold the guide ropes
Ticket machine
Aircon unit (stinks very bad in there)
Power switches
EMI sound unit
Belt/reel/envelopes
Zone locations
Cinema 1 from the other side
Projection portholes
Slightly concerning
Those famous railings
Mercury Arc Rectifyer
A damaged Rectifyer
Fuse board for the recifyers
I think we know about this lol
Batteries for lighting the fire escapes
Good explore
Going back soon!
