Dance Academy / New Palace Theatre, Plymouth, July 08

It's been a long time coming this site...

much planning and waiting, finally paid off.
the text's were sent, the plan was in place, the meet was arranged.

Went with Scotty, and Scrub2000,
For the people in Plymouth or know Plymouth, I dont really need to write anything as you'll already know.
For everyone else, here is a link....
history of the site.
http://www.albanyward.com/PlymouthUnion.html

the site is not as bad as we were lead to believe, yes, there was a damp problem but it was not falling around you and felt stable under foot.
there was alot of kit all over the place, most of it was old i think.
what ever room you went in to there were old lights, TVs, videos, drink bottles, rubble.

on the top floor is where the owner apperently lived and it looked like he did.
couple of beds, front room, kitchen and 2 offices.
We've seen a lot of this site but there is still bits we missed and even more bits we did not take pics of.

not really sure what else to say, I'm still buzzing. if you have any questions ask and i'll do my best to answer them.

on to the pics.



























Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy!​

Hello again everyone and thanks for all the comments, and thanks again to everyone involved in this site,
Kernow please pass that on to your DA buddy too,
had to be done didn't it Stiggy, been on the list far too long!

Had mixed feelings about this place, an awsome explore with so much to see, real rush when we finally got in and happy with that, but did bring back a lot of memories of times past, so also a lil sicky feeling knowing the place will never be the same again, and to see the state it's in in places, parts closed off to the public due to 'rather moist' floorboards etc, was great to get behind the scenes as usual, and yes MrStabFace we did manage to get inside that tower but a shame it was a room with no view!

Saigon.... those toilets... I was most gutted with them, why the hell did we never get ones as good as that eh?

Johno23 I'm pretty sure that one of the licencing conditions years back was that the original fixtures were preserved, probably being why most of the plaster work etc remains in place today, never really noticed it when I used to go there, mind you I used to be quite mashed by the time I got in and had my mind on other things, could have done with hearing a few of the classic tunes in there again, may have to load the mp3 for next time!

Hello again Sal, thanks for your comments too, always known that area as being the 'chill out' room, not sure what it was used for originally though!​
