These pictures were taken two years ago when we were taken on a tour from the basement to the roof to show the sheer scale of the work needed to salvage a venue that has sat locked up and forgotten about for 24 years.
The decline since then has been sharp - we can only imagine the state it is in with huge holes in the side of the roof opening the building up to pigeons once again, and exposing it to the worst of the elements.
The building’s days are numbered - it’s as simple as that, but bringing it down will be a tricky operation as it butts on to flats, is next to businesses, and towers above the Kings Theatre on the Esplanade.
