I do not give out locations so please don't ask as this protects the locations from vandals and thieves. I always document what i see in realtime so you the viewer can experience what i experience whilst on these explores.

Yo whats good guys, today I take you into a very vandalised venue with a wonderful ballroom feature. This former nightclub used to be a cinema which dates back to 1963. The cinema closed in 1963 but the building reopened in 1981 as a bingo hall. After this, the building was taken over by ritz and became one of the most successful places for live music and northern soul nights. Unfortunately the venue closed in 2017 due to copyright issues due to their name but after the closure, the building came back alive in 2018 but closed down when the covid-19 pandemic happened and then this building never reopened.

As you can see from the photos and video, this place has definitely seen better days and unfortunately there are signs of homeless people living inside here now and also the vandalism is very sad to see. This place is currently under offer and will probably sold in the near future.

Anyway thanks for looking 😎
