The Elysium Cinema in Swansea. It opened on the 11th of  April 1914 and its single auditorium was designed by Ward & Ward of the Strand, London and seated 900 in Circle and Stalls.

The building was also home to the Swansea Dock Workers Hall, a working man's club that was later home to the Labour party of Swansea.

It closed in 1960 and became an independent bingo club which had closed by 1994. After that, the labour club portion of the building remained open for about 4 years until it closed, and has remained that way ever since.

Now onto the pictures!


Sorry pics are a bit crap, it was dark as hell in there and hard to focus. I'll put up church photos when I've gone through them

Alright, here's the church. It's called Dinas Noddfa, don't know as much about this one.

Did you take anything home with you?

Did you take anything home with you?

Fuck that, I aint taking any cursed shit.

My friend did find a stack of bingo card books and took them though.

I don't know if you're intentionally setting up shots, but you have an eye for really nice looking shots

Thank you, tbh most of them are just me standing around taking photos of things but some of them I tried to make look real pretty. Due to the lighting situation in there I had a shitload of duds and these are the good ones

Nice.

There's an abandoned tower just up the hill from my flat. Mostly apartments.
Gonna go up with a few buddies later, maybe take some pictures and share.

Please do, I love places like that
