just a note, the signs asking people to not take photos were put in there by the owner a year or two ago to stop people showing the public how much the building has deteriorated. I used to work in this building in 2014 with a group of volunteers in an effort to restore it. The red steel beams seen when you first enter the theatre are what remains of the vip bar that we took down along with the dance academy stage to reveal the original stage underneath. As much as it feels good to see the old girl again, it's heart breaking to see how deteriorated it's gotten. Absolute shame
Interesting, so sad that it nearly got saved but still slipped away! Crazy seeing such a grand place with such rich history be left to rot. Thanks for your comment man 🙏
@@37stuey I believe it was, I just remember being told that we were no longer part of the project, then the whole go Palace bullshit was announced. Absolutely mad shit followed there after
Because the labour council at the time made them.. it’s all a very corrupt situation. Apparently the Freemasons wanted the place and stitched up the owner saying he was selling drugs, he wasn’t! He held on to the building for years so they would not win! It’s for sale though now I believe x
I moved hear to Plymouth ,from living in Luton beds , and the outside of this building took my breath away , I’ve seen many an old building in London . And was stunned that they have left ,this amazing old place to go to ruin . So much history and beauty going to waste . First time I’ve seen inside ,except from the old videos when it was a in its glory days ..thanks guys stay safe xxx
i used to go to eyecon dance academy lots. many miss this place still . i would love to see reopen. as would thousands that where in the Hard dance scene. Shame on you Plymouth Police And Counsil for what you did this should never have shut
@Brett- M the council will not let him do anything. Its a listed building and he has applied for the correct work to be done . He could not do anything when he was wrongfully put inside for 7 years. Now the council will not grant him any licence to either restore as a club theatre hotel etc.
@Brett- M even the council don't want it anymore, so no return as a conference centre... what exactly happened to the restoration that was going on a few years back?
I loved going here as a teenager, it’s so sad to see it in this state. Quite eerie being so still and lifeless. Like looking back on the titanic remembering the life that was flowing through its veins. Hope they bring it back to its former glory. Well done for braving it, I often drove past wondering what it’s like inside now.
Wow what a fantastic explore with Uncle Matt . Jess looked like Laura Croft the way she nimbly glides across the rotting floor and love your narration Sam and the music you put in the beginning. Really enjoyed this video such a shame they let a beautiful building get into that state of disrepair and Matt finding those two beautiful statues in the cupboard. Carry on the great work x
This is terrible that this beautiful building is just being allowed to collapse. It is so beautiful outside. I had no idea it was actually in so bad a state. Most regrettable. Thankyou for showing us.
Some very happy memories of that place. I was there a week before it closed. Hard House, Pills and we didn’t leave until 8am. Mental. Sad it’s fallen into such a state
Fantastic exploring experience from you both!!!! I am born and bread in Plymouth and remember union Street in the 90s and 00s as would regularly go to each and every club and gain all the stamps for entry!! And end up in dance academy till 6am, happy day's!!!! I would love you to come back again and show more of the old buildings hear in Plymouth Devon.
Positivity was my first and favourite ‘rave’ at the academy had some amazing nights down there. It always seemed to have a more happy atmosphere than the warehouse back then. Seeing this it’s a wonder the place didn’t fall down with the bass that used vibrate through the building. Love the video brought back some great memories
Hi Sam and Jess, what an amazing place such a real shame the local council or the owners can leave it to go to crap all that lovely Victorian architecture ruined and the owners can let it fall in to destruction it breaks my heart that so many great places all over the country are left like this. Thank you Sam and Jess another epic adventure.
It gave me chills watching this and brought back so many memories and that feeling of awe everytime i went to an event there when it was a club. It was my first clubbing experience and nothing else compares to it since, it really felt like a magical place and so special for Plymouths history. Such a beautiful building it really breaks my heart to see it like this now I almost couldn't watch it but it also felt so nice to see it again.
Awww man....so many memories from my clubbing years...very sad to see this...what a shame such a historical building is just falling down and left...fingers crossed someone sorts it one day
Another Great Building that should have been preserved. This has happened many times in Manchester. Council's are to blame. Great Explore Matt & Sam & Jess.
It's an absolutely stunning building, inside and out. Four years on and the council has invested millions into different projects nobody wants or needs recently... While leaving such a fabulous piece of history to rot. It would be such an attraction for the city too if it were restored.
I don't want to come off like an old scared fellow but my great fear is one of you getting hurt. I know you are very cautious but please be extra careful . You are fearless and the best adventurers but your safety is so important. I know you don't need to be reminded. I care about you. This was amazing!
Fantastic channel and a privilege seeing you both i saw you on the serectvault and exploring with fighters so I came over here from there channels ...Great suff I will continue watching thanks for the uploads :)
Really enjoy your channel and all your exploring videos! You’ve inspired me to start my own, I’m pretty new to it and still finding my way. Keep up the great work!!
What a fantastic placed to explore! So many nooks and crannies. Since it's said to be haunted I wonder if anyone saw you pass the windows and when you were on the terrace and thought you were haunting spirits...
It's deteriorated further in the last couple of years but not as bad or waterlogged as I thought it would be. Shame you didn't explore the tunnel under the stalls floor. That pyramid thing on the roof is the concrete cover over the dome. The first room on the left in the attic has a hatch that leads into the bottom of the turret. All the clothes and food were left by a homeless organisation who didn't seem to care what state they left the place in when they moved out. The "no photography" notice was theirs too. All the theatre seats were taken out in 1984 as part of the nightclub conversion. Great video, guys. Thanks for the chance to see it's still not past saving.
Oh man! Missed some bits then! Will be heading back soon for a paranormal so will be sure to check this out, thank you so much for your comment! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed seeing inside again.
Great vid such a shame to see it like this its gone in places but not beyond repair just yet especially the theater side the building was rather tidy inside in 2015 and did have people trying to stop the worst of the problems it has Sadly the owner will not let his grip of the building go He says he's trying to get things done but does not really understand that these people who deal out grants to save historic buildings will not touch him with a barge pole due to the history he has with the building
Wow I've got to say you guys have 🎱🎱 of steel also, including jess 🤣. My heart was in my mouth when ye were on those stairs they are ready to give way anytime. Again guys another great video really well done. Stay safe guys 🙂🙂
I am pretty much in tears to see how a haunt of my youth has been left abandoned in this way. I can hear certain tunes as you move between the rooms. I would love to do a weird remix of those tunes with this video if you would allow it @samandjessexplore?
A great video Sad to see this building again in this state 2011 was the last time i saw round it we did two nights spending 12 hours in total in both buildings the Great Western side you could walk around it all with no fear of falling through 5 floors then that side is now sadly beyond saving the building was bad but not as bad as its got in the last 4 years The building has kind of just been left since the homeless charity moved out in 2018 hence the clothes everywhere I will just pass this bit of info for you the owner has seen your vid apparently its causing quite a stir I would advise anyone from up country to stay away if anyone is thinking of coming back to do paranormal investigations etc not a good idea
there's video of the ragga twins rocking this place 1991 just search MadCows Productions. there are also videos of the warehouse which is at the other end of union street near toys r us and also in a state.
@@Samandjessexplore another great exploration in my city I had some amazing times in there as dance academy there is another abandoned club at the other end of Union Street that used to be a theatre and then warehouse /oz maybe check it out but thanks guys keep up the great work
New to your channel, love the videos. You guys found the coolest place. But please wear masks and gloves. We want you’ll healthy and living for a long time. PEACE AND JOY. From Ohio USA.
Only thing, I wish you had turned the camera towards the stage when walking across the 1st level balcony, felt amazing to walk across after all this time ❤️
Saw Ken Dodd there in 1972 for my fifth birthday, so sad that one of the few historic buildings in Plymouth that wasn't either bombed in the blitz or pulled down by town planners in the 50's allowed to fall into such a state is a relatively short space of time.
Great video guys I'm from Plymouth and I used to go raves here it's a beautiful building I really hope it gets saved it would be criminal to lose this place
Sinto muita tristeza em ver um lindo e imponente lugar artístico chegar em tão absurdo e decadente destino,o povo não tem apreço por sua cultura,o dinheiro e a ganância para muitos vêm em primeiro lugar.Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Walked by this building today. I was so confused why such a beautiful building is being left to decay. I really hope the city restores it. I don't really understand why drugs being dealt in the building a long time ago is causing the building to sit idle and decaying to this day.
They opened it once to the homeless thats where the clothes have come from I guess. It sad to see it like that. The side of the building is at the bottom of our service alley. I wish someone would buy it and bring it back to life. My ex hubby volunteered back in 2015 on it.
The people saying it was a dance club are right, but before that it was a beautiful old theatre, put out of business by the Theatre Royal. I remember both. I have been to Jack and the Beanstalk there. Later I went to a rave there.
The clothing you found is because during winter a couple of years ago they opened the theatre to homeless at night for shelter 🥺 can’t believe all that was left behind. Lots of people could have made use of those clothes
This building is supposed to be haunted. My sister used to run a food bar in there back in the mid 80's. I can't remember the actual stories now. You have to ask yourself why this was left to rot. A lot of history is being wiped out, just as it has always been, everywhere.

There is untold thousands worth of salvage still left in those buildings. But if these properties were seized for unlawful activity. The powers that be usually do nothing but let properties rot. Then whoever attains the property for redevelopment will be responsible for demolition and disposal of rubbish.
Damn this was what raves were all about. Miss those days.. Eyecon, dancing all night and the random photos you got taken for souvenirs with random people 🤣.
The council wanted to shut this place down years before the end. There was a leaky roof that they wouldn't allow to be fixed (for mere thousands of £s) and now it would cost millions. I vaguely remember queueing outside for a rock concert or film (?) 50 years ago.
Great explore but the commentary is a little frustrating. It seems to overlook the fact that many of the things shown were there from the nightclub days, not the original theatre!

Even in it's state of advanced decay it remains beautiful and thrilling to see. Sam and Jess, Thank you so much.
This is so very very sad. I choreographed shows there back in the 80's when it re-opened as a theatre. This breaks my heart.
Wow, must be terrible seeing it now 😔 It really is such a shame a place like this could be left so unloved 😪

I used to go there when it was just known as The Academy from 1985 to 1987. It definitely had seats in there back then.
This was the last venue in the UK that Laurel and Hardy performed at believe it or not .

As with most listed buildings they`ll wait til this place falls down due to deliberate neglect and then pull it down for "safety" reasons.
Sorry Sam, but that clanking is super annoying

went to some banging raves in there, not the "modern raves" proper ones.

Terrible thing to leave that building in that way but it’s all down to money (as everything is).
top video guys,,, cant believe you got a thumbs down. cant please some people
Dance academy :D

This is what happens to buildings when there left to rot . No room in there for the homeless ?
you are going to be very disapointed to know you missed the tunnels should of gone down
