Good News: This cinema has recently been purchased by PDJ Cinemas. They are in the process of refurbishing it, and intend to re-open it after removing some of the false ceilings and walls, revealing some of the original art deco features.
Wow, I wonder what it was like when they just had one screen. I had the privilege a few back of working in a real cinema, way before the age of digital projection. Rolls of 35mm movie film had to be carried upstairs to the projection room and then wound onto reels and put in order ready for projection. Films had to be played through to check for faults, before being shown to the public. At the end of every reel we had to look out for two dots on the screen. As soon as first dot (motor dot) appeared we had to start the second projector and then change over to the other projector in a spit second as soon as the second dot appeared, in the hope that people wouldn't see the join. First film then had to be wound back onto a bobbin. Rooms next to the projection room would normally contain, rectifiers to provide DC current for the projectors, batteries for emergency lighting, and sometimes there was even a slide projector for showing adverts. Early projectors used carbon arcs to produce the light. Later ones used Xenon lamps. During the ice-cream break, an organ came up out of the floor on a lift. The evening always closed with The National Anthem.
Thank you for being so respectful in this explore. If everyone were like you, all the epic locations would be pristine, and only have natural decay, we've lost so many epic buildings to vandals. In Norwich, last year, a grade 2 listed asylum was burned down (probably by the owner, because you are limited to what you can do with listed buildings), sadly ofc before I got to explore it. Sad to see such a nice cinema abandoned. It's gotta be completely looted and vandalised by now. What's the state of it now? All the history, just lost. It shouldn't have been abandoned in the first place. Did you lock the doors before you left? Don't want to make it easy for looters.
It was in administration when we explored the cinema. It has now been purchased by pdj cinemas and they intend to referbish the cinema and make the art deco features more noticeable. I assume they are going to paint them in brighter colours. When we left we the door locked behind us. I think a contractor had been and left the door ajar by mistake.
Brilliant explore Jordan top man xxx❤🙏🙏🙏

That crown amplifier in the rack is very modern
Yes it was in a stage where empire cinemas was going into administration which is why the amps are modern.
Probably have very little hours on them! Very solid amps
