The ABANDONED Curzon Cinema in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

History:
Originally called “The Picturedrome”. It first opened in 1920. Seating was provided in the auditorium for 1,100 in stalls and circle levels. The Picturedrome was sadly damaged by German bombs in 1940, but quickly re-opened.
It was sold to the ‘Classic Cinemas’ chain in 1966 and was re-named the ‘Curzon Cinema’. Classic Cinemas tripled the Curzon. The seating capacities are now 530 in the former circle and two screens in the former stalls seating 236 each.
The Curzon Cinema was closed on 16th January 2020 with Jennifer Hudson in “Cats” playing to an audience of 10 and Emma Thompson in “Last Christmas” playing to an audience of 27. The previous two weeks had not seen one customer!

With almost a year to go for its 100th birthday, the new 8-screen Cineworld in The Beacon shopping centre, which opened on 12th July 2019, is blamed for the closure of the Curzon Cinema. I’d also say the COVID pandemic added to it too. #abandoned #history #abandonedplaces #urbex #urbexuk #urbanexploration.
