The furniture and musical instruments belong to the CGX charity which still operates on the High Street and uses some of the units (with owner's permission) as storage. Thanks for behaving well in our workplace but please correct the record. A lot of the items filmed are OUR STOCK - NOT ABANDONED! Kyle Centre is still an active workplace with active CCTV. If you would like to see inside, come and volunteer with us!
There seems to be a glut of charities around that have loads of “stock” they seemingly do nothing with. Not picking on this one specifically but my own first hand knowledge can attest to that.
@@Jpmckay22they have to have time to sell it though they can't just give it away, or it does no good for the charity which is the whole point of others donating it to begin with.
@@Jpmckay22 We would aslo like to see stock move faster. if the rate of donations is a bit higher than the rate of sales we have to store it. The current owners of the Kyle Centre generously allowed us to use some of the empty units (the ones that don't flood too badly when it rains). The number of active volounteers is aslo a LOT lower since COVID (hint hint come and join us). Our market is for those on low incomes but don't qualify for free stuff - second hand is way cheaper. We have to derive an income from this to pay staff costs, rent, insurance and bills or we would cease to exist and most donations would go to waste disposal.
@@grosom31 true. I buy and sell second hand furniture myself and have just had too many experiences working with and for charities where I have witnessed either huge amounts of waste or unrealistic prices when they get a good quality item donated. Again, not saying anything about this organisation.
Had my first kiss in here, on the food court floor you can see at 7:18. Used to be full of metal tables and chairs, but even back in 2017, was more or less deserted. Shame to see it's all gone to ruin, but also sort of morbidly interesting...
One of our volunteers has polished up and repainted the tables! (square one's). Ask in our furniture shop, High Street just along from Marks and Spencers.
I remember walking through this with my brother when we were coming home from school, the place was ALWAYS jumping with people , even in late afternoon, packed full of different shops . I also worked in a couple shops in here in the 90’s . Great place to shop at the time . Shame to see it like this now 😢. But we all know it’s the internet 🛜 that has caused places like this to close .
This is at the back of where I stay. How sad. Surely units could be given to a variety of community groups and used as creative spaces. Why can't abandoned stock that is usable be given to community groups. I am sure recycle Ayr could pass these items on. Our council representatives need to get there finger out and negotiate with who ever owns this space. Sad. Xxxx
Cather8ne, oir charity started here and still uses it to sort donations and prepare them for resale in our charity shop next door. We have been trying to get on with this reuse work despite local teens breaking in and vandalising the place and now urbex community members intruding and faking that its abandoned.
I used to come down at least twice a month with the kids when they were younger. It was a great place for shopping and lunch. Such a shame, and a waste of good stuff.
All the big brand shops like River Island and Topshop moved to Ayr Central when that opened, and it was all downhill from there. Ayr Central should never have been given planning permission. Ayr has more than enough retail space as it is and there were never enough retailers to fill the Kyle Centre and Ayr Central and the Arran Mall.
@@jimmcintosh9045 the best thing about it all the shops at Ayr central were pretty much built for the shops that opened in mind. All stores went under and now they lie empty. And rumours have it that the old Debenhams maybe be the police station.
I hate to see this place left like this, the town/council need to lower rates and get these shoes opened again or at least do them up for other projects for the people of our town what a waste,
We are a local charity that uses 5 of the units for warehousing and preparing items for reuse and resale. This helps local people, planet and our town. Its being vandalised in 2021 by local 14 year olds, has made it too expensive to reopen. Redevelopment pending.
I blame South Ayrshire Council, totally incompetent and have been found wanting for the last 20 years, resign every one that sits on the council, total waste of space.
Ask and we'll give you a guided tour with a balloon and a stick of rock! It's not abandoned as the fake news put across by Natasha and previous Urbexers.
Oleae stay away - these items have been donated and will be repaired and resold at affordable prices to help local people contribute to reducing the environmental impact of what we buy and some people back towards and into work.

Too many usable buildings being left to be vandalized but still good to explore keep up the good videos

It didn't look like much active work was going on!

What a shame I remember when this was full of all the good shops and was so busy

I can’t count how many times I have spent time in this place , used to meet up for drinks and food and shop . So sad to see it go to waste like this 😔
I want those drum kits
Worked in Kyle Centre in Chelsea girl very first day it opened. What an amazing place it was back then.

Such a shame,used to love shopping in there,and stopping for a snack upstairs 😢
Jakey, jakey, break and entry
they got permission
Nice video, is the venue easily located?
Yeah Ayr town center about one of the few abandoned buildings south arson council have yet to ignite.
Why was the shopping centre closed. The shopkeepers should have access to remove their stock!
They only left low value items. Most of the stuff filmed belongs to the CGX charity which operates in parts of the centre.
All the big brand shops like River Island and Topshop moved to Ayr Central when that opened, and it was all downhill from there.
Ayr Central should never have been given planning permission. Ayr has more than enough retail space as it is and there were never enough retailers to fill the Kyle Centre and Ayr Central and the Arran Mall.
Agree that Ayr Central was the start of Ayr High Street demise.

Looks like it had been a nice shopping centre at one point.

Hey...how did you gain access? Did you do it legit. We would love to shoot a music video in here
What a waste. South Ayrshire council really are a joke. A town that used to have a good reputation reduced to a literal dive.
This is the Kyle centre in Ayr
This is shocking that stuff could be used
It is being stored until prepared for safe and affordable resale in our charity shop. Please come and help us save it from landfill!
Thanks for sharing your video 📸

That is mad 😮
Where about is this please would love to explore it
ayr
Still a workplace. Not abandoned.
Ask and we'll give you a guided tour with a balloon and a stick of rock! It's not abandoned as the fake news put across by Natasha and previous Urbexers.
easy peasy 👣
As those folk went there on tour I might try a tour of my own .🐸
they got permission from the folk that own the building.
How did u get in? Needing a guitar 😂😂

St enoch
Nope, Kyle Centre in Ayr
Looks like the bridge- gate shopping centre in the city centre.
