You had to do some quite ridiculous climbing and jumping from the 6th floor of the student digs to get access to an open fire escape on top of the old picture house. Something I'm sure our mothers would have never approved of...
It was AWESOME in there, full on spooky. The last film shown there was Waynes World, the popcorn machines still had fossilised masses of sweet and salty lumps in. In the projection room someone had written "count-down to doomsday" on the wall with a tally underneath, proper eerie. The projectors still had the film reels on. We kept going back and even bought some of those Lazer quest packs from Argos to have full on battles in there!
In the end people got in and started taking drugs in there and scuppered it.
I wish I had some photos of the place.
These pictures me and Rachel found of abandoned theme parks kind of give me that spooky excited feeling back.
I've got to find one of these!
