Preston odeon revisited. Nov 09

a revisit of original post, went back after we found out we missed the second screen some how! any way visited with Over and to say the least it was easier this time! :) hope you enjoy the pics! since my first visit i found a action group that is looking at getting the 1928 cinema back in to use here.

these first 3 pics are from of the roof above the main street

miller arcade

second screen, not many seats in here at all

refreshments from 1992

what could only be described as the owners flat maybe?, there was a few rooms such as living room possible bedroom and kitchen.

piece of old film found on floor!

lettering found in front lobby, had to be done!

odeon cinema, preston. july 09

The old odeon cinema in preston is located next to lava and ignite night club in preston, its been disused since 1992. more info can be found here :- http://cinematreasures.org/theater/6542/

me and Over set out to have a look at this place to see if someone could get in and get a look at this place, and god it was worth it! it was not the easiest of places to get in to, but it didnt take us long to get in. and it felt strange, that somewhere like this is being left to decay when it should be being used.

the front, taken from outside


this is a pic of the seats in the main screen

the screen has long gone, now all left there are the speakers that where behind the screen

there was quite abit of stuff stored around the place from the night club next door as its owned by the night club.

a rusty panel in the projection room

the remains of the projector, all the film on the floor was test film of some sort, it was like looking in to a kaleidoscope

looking through the projector hatch in to the main screen!

as ever the people shot! thats me and Over behind

its such a shame that its been left to rot, if done right it should be restored and reused, as something like this cant be just left and forgotten about.
