This building on Abbydale road in Sheffield is 'semi derelict' if ever there was such a thing.There was a tour around it this month as part of a heritage open day that happened throughout europe so even though its not exactly fitting in with this websites main themes im posting a few pics for folk that may have missed the boat so to speak.rock on....

Good pics & an interesting looking building-are parts of it still in use if it's 'semi-derelict'? Such a shame parts of it are being neglected!

Only the basement is in use as a bar and snooker club,all the main theatre parts are as you see them.Heres a few more.....the first is the old projection room.

Planning permission to turn it into a mosque was turned down as there are some casts of ladies on some walls that cannot be removed as its listed and also weatherspoons were turned down as they wanted to remove the sloping floor.

Oh I love places like this, old cinemas and theatres. Nice find and nice images, well done!

what a fantastic building, i'm so glad its in private ownership with the intention of restoring it back into use.
there are very few original cinemas left in use now, most having been demolished or turned into pubs.
great to see this.
