My explore of Tameside’s abandoned Hippodrome Theatre. Closed since 2008 despite local groups wanting to reopen this once grand theatre. See what remains.
@@jennyhacking1289 hopefully it’ll get a new lease of life. If someone will fix the roof and get it watertight the foundations are there to get it operating as a theatre again. I agree it would be a shame to lose the theatres we have left.
Brilliant detailed video. Love that intro with the old footage, and that light you use really does an excellent job in that main arena! I did walk into a few webs myself when I was there but I didnt realise just how many there were! Really good stuff and one place I will be keeping an eye on 👍
@@stevoid thanks, and the tip off from you won’t be forgotten . I appreciate the kind words. I do like pulling the history out when I can find some. Just wish my battery hadn’t died near the end so could’ve got the last bits!
@@pauljonnson1181 there is still hope it can be run by a charity as a community theatre. The longer it’s left the more it’s going to cost in reactive maintenance though
Very sad to see it closed up, so much history in that place
