Glenroyal Cinema / Kings Bingo. Shipley.

Yep another one! The latest place on the West Yorkshire UrbEx tourist trail. Ernie called me late one night and told me he was in here, so me and Mrs Converse1 made the trip to Shipley to have a looksie at the Old Glenroyal cinema. I first got in here in October 2007 clicky here to have a look at what it was like then. To be honest it hasn't changed much but here are a few of my pics if you aren't tired of the place yet!


Christmas comes early (or late...)


Piles of bingo guff.


The mighty fine projection room.


Nice detail on the circle door.


The fantastic double tip up seats. Love these.


Remains of a past matinee....

Thanks for looking.

My first post and really just for prosperity as I didn't have time to take good shots but it seems popular. I was here about 2weeks before this visit without a camera and the place has changed a lot since then - lots more graffiti, suspended roof ripped down, circle chairs kicked in etc. Very sad.

Some kids tried to get in while we were there but we'd wedged the door shut so we had it to ourselves, electric was on so thats a bonus. Great warren of rooms upstairs in this place

Tickets please....






I think this would be good if I had skill...!




Wish it was sharper




Door of doom

I had another look last night Converse, the place is now very trashed :-(
