Palladium, Ossy - work going on

Just driven past and there seem to be workmen inside removing all the old chairs and fittings.

Anyone know what's going on?

Some of those old chairs and fittings could be worth a few bob (once they are cleared of pigeon muck)....I hope they are not going in a skip.There could be some good Art Deco stuff there. Get it out if it is ..and check if there are any old picture posters...an original "Gone With The Wind" is worth £25K now....have a good root round, Gayle - you never know what you could find.

I never saw any art deco fixtures when I played bingo there.
I do know it when I see it - the Mecca bingo club at Southport is a beautiful example (an ex Odeon cinema)
The Palladium was never that posh even when in its prime.

You never know what may have been hidden behind the chipboard....

Probably the ones from across the road weighing in the metal chairs

It looks a mess but what is behind it that we will be able to see if it does come down?

That will look nice as you drive up the road.

I once had to visit a caravan on that site many years ago(for work reasons).
The site was kept very clean and tidy and the caravan was quite spectacular inside - cut and engraved glass and Crown Derby pottery.
Those caravan dwellers aren't 'travellers'

a friend of mine looked into buying the place a few years back but there was too much work needed to get it up to spec

usally when they are going to do somting with a building they stick posters on lamp posts near by to notify teh public as well as announce plans applied for in the local paper

i can only guess that if not demolition then probably flats or as they liek to call flats in accrington ( luxury appartments ) roflmfao
