wOw,

its still in lovely condition....minus the dust!

as for the 2 odeon cinemas that i spent my childhood at near me...sadly are now a modern church (thats the church in woolwich on the corner)|,and the other one is wrecked, still empty and soon to be flats...they were both empty since i was about 10,and have only just has things done with them in the past few years...so they have had years of wear and tear....and pidgeon poop...and kids...

i must go and see this cinema tho....
 
Sorry Lew didn’t get ur message till this morning ref Odeon yep went back a few weeks ago and is nicee nice.
But please all be aware of the following and take the right precautions
The sign inside dated 9/22/11 states
“Acoustic ceiling tiles contain asbestos & has show positive for lead covering Hazard.
HEPA respirator with an MVOC filter. Do not enter”


Just a heads up mask up as that’s not just dust and will cause serious damage to lungs and not what it’s about and the ceiling tiles have all started falling in.
Splore safe mate ;)

l see the bag of refreshers are still there :)

Ps the tourist will be callin like they cant find an Odeon lol No shame these days in this game :p
Did you notice the bank offices have closed too ?

Ps thats the most miserable write up ive read in a long time :)
Could have got more off a grave stone ;)


Yeah i see a sign regarding asbestos, But didnt pay much attention to it
And i know, Im not great with writing, Ill just let the pictures talk...
Regarding the bank and access ive text you anyways mate :)
 
Well done Lew, this has been dormant for a couple of years now, surprising how it hasn't changed at all, I was talking to one of the attendants that patrol the car park to the side of this last week and they have has to section off a lump of the side of the car park as lumps of roof and board are falling from the cinema, so I really did expect a lot more of the roof down that this.

And listen to SK regarding you're lungs fella, you may think your invincible but you're not!!!

Shit, I sound like my Mum!!!

Well its to late for all the safety talk now :cry:
i was not expecting anything like that...
 
liking the old cinemas. try useing long exposure instead of relying on the flash. youll get some intresting results and cut down on the dust pick up.
good shots tho.

Its completely pitch black in there, It wont have any light to pick up?
Do you mean light paint it?
 
It's amazing what you can take photos of in the complete dark with a torch. I'm starting to learn all this with mine.
 
lol, Safe Breaker, I was thinking the same thing about the prices, and didn't expect to see 7 year old popcorn still in the hopper. Also, I would never have thought that massive dust storm was asbestos. These posts by experienced explorers are very educational.
