Bridget Jones's baby at the Lincoln odeon
Exploring Britain's Last ABC Cinema... and we found LOADS!
► THE EXPLORE: This location is one I have wanted to do for a long time but I was under the impression that it was no longer accessible. BUT... we found a way ;) And I'm glad we did. This place held SOOO much history and also memories for me as it was a Cinema that I had visited more than once when it was open.
► SITE HISTORY: Built in 1937 and closed in 2017 this iconic ABC Cinema was the very last of its kind open in the UK. The cinema opened back in 1937 to the likes of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers. And it closed with the very last film being 1985's Back to the Future at the request of local customers. The cinema operated for a little under 80 years and has some amazing history linked with the site. The site was closed by Odeon when they announced plans for a brand new multiplex in the area. The ABC cinema closed along with the site a few doors down that was also internally linked which was an Odeon cinema to make way for the new venture. Both now stand abandoned. This video ONLY shows the ABC side of the site, but we hope to get into the other side soon.
► DISCLAIMER: Urban Exploring is DANGEROUS. Do not attempt this yourself. Leave it to idiots like us instead...

EXPLORING ABANDONED CINEMAS IN BOURNEMOUTH ~ ABC & ODEON WITH DECOR FROM 1930s
This was an amazing explore! Again a big shame to see a potential space for a new theatre or entertainment venue just sitting there laying derelict. BUT here is a bit of History of the place. The last two photos are NOT MINE! I will include a link to the credited images. What an amazing cinema in it's operational day. More abandoned photos coming this week so keep them eyes peeled :D
HISTORY: The ABC was originally called the Westover Super Cinema and opened in June 1937 with the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film Shall We Dance. In those days, it seated 1,605 people in the stalls and 910 in the circles.
It became an ABC in 1958 and was turned into a twin-screen cinema in 1970, with the 644-seater ABC1 auditorium equipped for high quality 70mm projection. The first film to show in 70mm on its giant wide screen was Paint Your Wagon. A third screen was added in 1973.
The ABC became a Cannon in 1983 and an MGM in 1992 before a management buyout turned it back into an ABC in 1996. The Odeon group took over the chain in 2000 but kept the old name.
Odeon then closed the ABC in 2017 to make way for the new Odeon which is in the heart of Bournemouth today.

Returning to the ABANDONED ODEON CINEMA!
► THE EXPLORE: So last time we came here we got into two of the smaller screens, but we really wanted to get into the top screen, but at the time we could not find a way... so we went back... and found a way in ;)
► SITE HISTORY: Opened on the 14th December 1936 with it's opening film being Chick. It was one of the largest and most expensive cinemas designed by Andrew Mather for Odeon.
Consisting of 4 screens in total, including a massive 631 seater screen upstairs. Today only 3 screens are accessible!
In 2007 the freehold on the building was sold by Odeon and the final performances were held on 10th January 2008.

We explore The Abandoned Odeon Cinema In North End Portsmouth!!
A lot of people forget this once very popular Cinema is still here, it’s been closed for 11 years and sadly is due to be demolished in the near future to be replaced with houses... because of its location we had to do this one extremely early in the morning! A great explore with a lot of happy memories from my childhood. Will be very sad to see it go!
Site history....
One of the original Oscar Deutsch chain of Odeon Theatres. The Portsmouth Odeon opened on 14th December 1936 with Sydney Howard in “Chick”. It was the largest and most expensive Andrew Mather designed Odeon of that year. Total seating was provided for 1,824, with 1,224 in stalls and 600 in balcony.
It has an impressive monolithic tower frontage in cream faience with vertical green bands and a roof of red Spanish tiles. The auditorium’s ornate decoration included tall murals on side walls depicting film subjects.
A two week closure from 10th September 1960 for modernisation, including installation of 70mm with new wide screen and proscenium in front of original. Then began a glorious period through the 1960’s of almost uninterrupted Roadshow presentations (with the Gaumont almost opposite taking the Rank first-run weekly release).
Tripling took place on 26th August 1973, with 573 seats in screen 1 (former balcony) and 132 in each of the mini-screens located in the rear stalls under the balcony. In 1990 a fourth screen was added in the former front stalls area and a new screen was installed in screen 1. Further refurbishment has taken place since then and the current seating is 1. 631, 2. 229, 3. 179, 4. 259.
In 2007 the Freehold on the building was sold by Odeon Theatres Ltd. and after a few false roumors of closure, the final performances were held on 10th January 2008. Demolition is possibly the final act, still to be played out…..but, in December 2008, the foyer was in use as a OJ’s Discount Store and by August 2013 was in use as a Sainsbury’s supermarket. The auditoriums remain unusued.

Ghosts of the Odeon
Chester's 1936 Art Deco Odeon cinema closed in 2007, and has stood empty ever since.
In the next few years it will be redeveloped as part of the RE:NEW project, transforming it into a new Cultural Centre in the heart of the city.
Chat Noir Productions, as members of the Chester Film Co-op were invited to make a short film inside the derelict building.
Ghosts of the Odeon follows a young boy around the site, as he meets the characters of the films he loves.

Abandoned Odeon Cinema! | (Left for Over a Decade)
► THE EXPLORE: So I've always wanted to get into a cinema, and there has been an abandoned one close to where I live for a while, and finally, we managed to get it in. This is what happened.
► SITE HISTORY: Opened on the 14th December 1936 with it's opening film being Chick. It was one of the largest and most expensive cinemas designed by Andrew Mather for Odeon.
Consisting of 4 screens in total, including a massive 631 seater screen upstairs. Today only 2 of the screens are accessible, with one flooded with waste water and the 631 seater no longer with any kind of way up to it after the original staircase was removed when the cinema's original entrance was renovated into a local shop.
In 2007 the freehold on the building was sold by Odeon and the final performances were held on 10th January 2008.

Exploring An Abandoned Cinema With Power Stil On! (Harlow)
Having been inside this building most of last Summer with my mates, I wasn't into taking pictures and recording then but now Since I am I thought I would give the Cinema a revisit. There has been no access since last summer. However, a month ago when i decided to do my weekly check on the building to see if there is a way in I realised someone had made a tiny hole that I could just about fit through.
**Since editing this video and going back to record some more clips the entrance I had used has now been re-boarded back up**
History:
This was the first new cinema to be built for Rank after the war (others were completions of pre-war schemes) and it opened on February 1, 1960 with Follow A Star.
The Odeon Cinema Harlow was designed by T. P. Bennett & Son and had 1,244 seats on a single floor in the stadium plan, with a stepped raised section at the rear instead of the normal overhanging balcony. The projection suite was suspended above the raised section of seating and had an almost level throw to the large screen.
In June 1987, it closed for tripling and the raised section at the rear was converted into two smaller cinemas whilst the front retained the original box and screen.
The Odeon Cinema Harlow was refurbished in 2001 and rebranded with the new Odeon style. This was despite the competition from a six-screen multiplex which opened back in 1990. Its future looked hopeful, however it was closed in August 2005. It was purchased days after closing by a local businessman, and the building still sits empty and unused in 2015.

THE ABANDONED ODEON CINEMA PART 2
Sooooo... You may remember i said we couldnt access the main screen.... maybe we lied! We have made it to the beautiful top screen. So many memories! Must see. For the rest of this explore see part 1 here:
Site History: -
This Odeon cinema first opened its doors in 1936. Total number of seats when opened was 1,824! Owing to the massive increase in film streaming and dropping numbers of cinema go-ers added to the amount of damp seen creeping in the building, final performance was shown on the 10th January 2008. Here we are 11 years later, the origional lobby is now a sainsburys and the rest is just sat here forgotten.

How much did you spend the last time you went to the movies? Sadly, the answer is probably too much. In the U.S., ticket prices are at an all-time high, and innovations like IMAX, 3D, and premier seating drive the cost up even higher. As a result, it's becoming the norm to pay more than $15 for a movie ticket. But if you want some extra bang for your buck, check out these fantastic movie theaters…
