Glen Royal Cinema. Shipley. Report. 14/07/10

[the silence]

Hi all
This is my contribution of the Glen Royal that I did about 3 weeks ago with my mucker, who go's by the name of 'no exit'. It's taken me a while to get the images sorted out, so sorry if they aren't very good, as we're not photographers and only have a standard digital camera
I know quite a few of you have been here so i'll spare the history lesson.
Hope you enjoy.

This furnace reminded me of Nightmare on elm street!

Not sure what year this poster was, any idea's?

Hi
Yeah it is quite trashed, not suprised though considering the location When we were in there, the water from the toilets in the bingo hall were flooding the place. Also the tables and chairs have been thrown around, and there was evidence of small fires
The upper circle wasn't too bad, apart from the chairs ripped up in a small section as shown.

Here are a few more from the upper circle





Did anyone get through the yellow door on the left? It's quite interesting, unfortunately I didn't get a photo

Here you go fella, 1953. Looks like a proper old Ealing style cracker!
