This was a nice club, closed now for sometime, it was going to be converted into flats, sdaly for some reason this has not yet happened and the club buildning is now looking more like a ruin.

Fond memories of this place It had a large purpose built theatre out the back which the Sheppey theatre group used to put their plays on in.My mum was a stalwart member of the group and I spent many happy hours helping out when I were a lad.

That's my mum 2nd from left.

Shame the place has gone to ruin but unfortunately that seems to be a common occurance in Sheerness

The theatre I think is the hall to the left of my first phots, it's out of sight as it is set back, as far as I know, that's now the club house.
 
Such a shame it has been left to rot.

I enjoyed your photos thanks :)
 
Sod the décor, whether it’s a working mans club or an ex knocking shop, It is an utterly stunning building and I hope very much that it is saved, Thank you for sharing.

Its a great shame that a majestic building like that is left to decay :(

But hey, good news for us eh???

Nice photos :)
 
After looking at Oldscrotes photo's I do feel it a shame that all those wonderfull looking buildings have gone to be replaced by some ugly office block in the name of progress.
 
The photos you have on here are NOT from August 2011. The contractors have been working on it and its not so sad now. Those photos were last year or the early part of this year at best, as I personally restored the lions in April and they are now black!!

It's come a very very long way since those photos were taken. It's only a small team working on the build. You should be more positive about it as thank god its not a pigeon coop anymore!!!!!!
 
AND ITS NOT GOING TO BE AN OFFICE BLOCK.

The inside flats in the main building are looking fantastic and the plans for the new build on the back of the land have now been fully approved and look stunning. So please don't be so quick to judge. We have transformed some amazing builds all within one year so bare with us, before slating us.

Hi Colin,

How did you get the photos of the inside last year, as we were in possesion of this for the last 18 months and it is private property that we did not authorise anyone to enter.

We have had theft on the site which we hired an external security company to help us with, these were deffinitely taken prior to the time we contracted them. How did you obtain access, did you climb over the wall???? Are you aware that it is an offence to tresspass on private property, or were your photos in actual fact taken prior to our possesion in September 2010, if so please correct your post.

Many thanks,
The owners
