also: I remember 'breaking' into the old stow cinema by shimmying across a pipe between it and the shopping arcade next door (which by then was closed and only being used for film shoots, and shooting up). The cinema had been closed a year or so since becoming a bollywood cinema, and the electricity was still on. The old main screen still had all the pretty plasterwork, but the lower seats were gone, as were the curtains and most of the equipment. Wish i'd taken pictures instead of running around like a giddy puppy.
