Originally opened as The Alexandra Theatre in 1917, it was often referred to as the "flea Pit". In 1968 the Alexandra cinema closed and was reopened after refurbishment in 1970 as Theatre One. In 1991 the cinema was sold, becoming a nightclub.
Apologies for the crappy flash pics, a faily quick visit with leic_urban_xp and barrygrylls. A lot of the original features have been removed, however there are still a few if you look for them. The original staircase still exists, as does the projection room (though it has been converted into an office) The battery room is also to be found hidden away, theres also the odd little cinema related item dotted around if you look carefully.
