ABC Cinema - Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent

Closed 2000. Demolition scheduled for the next few weeks. Difficulty in accessing and an intact roof has meant less damage inside than a lot of places. Three auditoria covered by one projection room.

Hi Valan
Something that amazed me about Stoke when I came up for the meet there, was the amount of derelict stuff. It seemed like there were one or two on every street. Urbex paradise!!! :D
 
Cheers Alley, Its a shame about the projectors. :(

Foxy, did we drive past this place at the meet? We drove round Stoke that many times (yep, we got lost going to Morrissons lol) and saw so may derelict stuff, made me want to move there. Couldn't believe the amount of derelict buildings that are in and around Stoke. Awesome lol.

Cheers,

:) Sal

Actually, I think we did. It looks very familiar. Mind you, d'you remember those roundabouts, Sal? They all looked the same...same flowers and everything. Or maybe it was just the same one and we kept circling it when we got lost!!! :eek: :lol:
 
How on earth did I miss this one?!!:eek:
Nice report & pics Alley. Well done for getting a looksee inside. Must say that the torn cinema screen makes the placde look creepy!!!

Lb:cool:
 
I've wanted to do this one for ages, but unfortunatly it's been demolished now. I heard rumours that the reason it was shut down was that someone found a corpse in the airvents? Any truth to this?

Well thats sounds ridiculous, why would anywhere shut down for that reason?
Anyway, the land was bought by Tesco. Many small cinemas have closed, usually for financial reasons.

Also (and I guess it's ok to post access seeing as it demolished now) we got in by crawling through the ventilation system and there was no evidence of a body - the dust hadn't moved for years.
It did look like someone might have slept inside at some point, but after it was closed.
