    Arrow Stockport Plaza - Sept 2010

    The year was 2010 and urban explorer Ernie Tyler was hit by a Jowett Blackbird outside Swindon Police station left for dead...


    Ernie woke up in the the year 1932 and found himself in the Stockport Plaza, a cineplex showcasing the news, films, shows and of course the Wurlitzer.

    With his Kodak brownie in hand, the follow images were taken...

    Nice stuff Rebel. Some luvverly old style shizz to see there. I also like the shot of Ernie lying on the ground

    Being a blackbelt at playing the organ, the only choon worth playing would be "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" of course.

    God knows what he was playing but it wasn't bad for a wurlitzer. It's not Ernie btw Box Looks like him from a distance though.

    I was told Ernie loves playing with his Organ

    Love those crazy colors, and the love seats certainly take me back to the old back row shenanigans

    Nice to see this gem
