Remembering the Royalty Cinema in Harbourne, Birmingham. Opened in the 1930s, it was a lavish Art Deco auditorium from the ‘Golden Age’ of cinema.
Sadly, a large fire gutted the cinema in September 2018, destroying the interior of this beautiful building. My photos are from a visit back in 2017.

🔥The Kings Hall Methodist Church, in Southall (London). Built in 1916, left abandoned in 2013, and lost to a devastating fire in 2026.

This spectacular control room was built in the 1920s in Art Deco style. Natural light enters through an immense central skylight. Levers, switches, and dials line the walls, while crescent-shaped panels encircle the space. A concrete bunker with a steel door stands to one side, built to protect workers during WW2 air strikes.

An abandoned Roman Catholic church in northern England. Constructed in the 1960s during a period of transition within the Catholic Church, the design features contemporary architecture and beautiful glasswork.
On the western wall, a dalle de verre features coloured glass set into a concrete frame depicting religious iconography.

🆕🏛️ New location feature: New Parliament House (Old Royal High School), Scotland
The UK government bought the site in the 1970s, planning to house the proposed Scottish Assembly here. The failed 1979 devolution referendum left the building in limbo.
In 2026, it is being renovated into an event space.
