📽️ The Grand, Southport. Now a beautiful restaurant and cocktail bar. I explored the site before the renovations, when it had stood abandoned for around 20 years.
Originally built as a 1920s vehicle showroom, it was transformed in the 1930s into a lavish cinema. It then operated as a bingo hall and later a casino, but this closed in the 2000s.
