📽️ 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.

At the moment I don't have as much time as I would like to have for #planespotting but luckily I have lots of material from last year, like all the stuff I shot at the #Southport air show, which I used for my latest video, giving you the full spectrum, from #parachutists over #biplanes to #fighterJets and then still some 😉 :
