    Default Preston Odeon, June 2012

    Report for a visit to Preston Odeon, with True British Metal and TheUrbanPest from 28DaysLater.

    Having attempted to gain access to St Joseph's and been 'moved on' we decided to have a scout around and see what else was worth a look around Preston. We settled on the Odeon and made our way there.

    Once inside I was shocked how good condition it was for a building that had been shut sing 5th September 1992. (Longer than i've been alive). Having completed the our explore we made our was back out only to find it was blocked... Two women stood having a smoke. So we had to wait them out, 25 minutes later we had, had enough and made a run for it. Thud, Thud, Creek as we made our Great Escape.

    Yeah St Josephs is a pain, you have car park security one side who are 24/7 and some offices on the other with 24 hour security, you need to be fast, but the Odeon was great. I don't have any photos of the main screen as i've just got into UE and didn't have a tripod or powerful enough torch to light it up :'(

    We tried St Josephs first as that was the plan but ended up going to the Odeon and it was not a let down its a stunning 1930's cinema

    I know! Its the offices across the road that are the biggest pain, always people coming out for a smoke when your in the middle of something. Thought it was a court across the road the first time I went
