Another one bites the dust

As mentioned yesterday the old cinema/bingo hall in Shipley was on fire last night. There are still road closures as the building is unsafe ( see the curve in the wall?) and is to be demolished. I work in the first building outside the exclusion zone, so we've been keeping the poor PCSO's manning the Police do not cross tape along the canal warm ( well warmer!) with coffees all day. I took my camera in the hope of getting a shot of it being demolished only for it to be delayed until tomorrow ( unless it collapses first). It will look so strange tomorrow with out it there. Built in 1932, as a cinema it finally closed its doors as a Bingo Hall in 2005. Another listed building lost forever.
For more details and history follow this link with more photographs of its decay over the years

Next week I'll blip the same view with out it.... sad demise after 80 years
