Wow that is mental do you think it was alive I've I'm going to have to slow it down and see if I can see it twitch or move it was certainly playing dead Ed and try not to move. That's one clever Fox I just hope it wasn't dead
I have seen several explores of this place but yours is far and away the best for accessing all areas. Thanks for checking out the stage area, so few explorers bother with that aspect of old cinemas. Years ago I heard that an Asian bloke owned the place and was using it to store clothes for his shops.
Awesome i have enjoyed this video I was always wondering if it ever will be explored and it has ... I live in birmingham and I always pass this place I have always been fascinated with abandoned places ... always wondered how palladium looked from inside thanx a ton guys for this exploration .... 👍🤝
Interesting to see the original proscenium arch behind the newer set of curtains. The new arch will have been built in front of the original to allow a wider CinemaScope screen to be installed in the 1950s.
The last time this building saw action was late 60's as the shilling sign and 70's the wallpaper design. The Players sign suggests mid 60's to mid 70's. You also have the retro vintage desk phone and wall phone popular at the time which moved on to more sleek designs in the 80's. Harrington jackets have always been fashionable and had a good fashion spell in the mid to late 70's.
Great place Matt it was fantastic you got to walking along the catwalk ceiling it was amazing to see how it was made so much wood in the making of it and was amazing dry anyway great footage 👍😊
I live around 2 miles from there Matt, back towards West Brom, been over the Hockley Flyover 100's of times , and you know, never ever noticed the building there before, just shows, if it hadn"t been for The Secret Vault, I may have gone to my grave without ever knowing,, will I be having a go?, of course not, too old and knackered, wouldn"t get over the fence for a start off, anyway another fine presentation Matt, thank you
That place had to be beautiful in its heyday, it's a shame because it really looks like crap now. It was a cool building and a great Explorer my friend.
When you were getting to the end of the catwalk and i saw the ladder i thought please don't go under that. my superstition would of been on overdrive 👍👍
Dunlop Safety Trainers from Sports Direct dude. They are not much heavier than ac actual pair of trainers, and certainly less heavier than conventional safety boots ;-)
Theycallme H search the Birmingham Anchor exchange on UA-cam and Google mate, there's loads of information on it. I know where all of the entrances are if you ever want to check it out.
at 41.51 minutes did you see the fox

That wallpaper is from the 70's for sure
In its main operating era, it would have been a really fantastic place, Cinema, Plays and Bingo, what a superb British traditional building.
Yet another brilliant vid there buddy
Great place Matt it was fantastic you got to walking along the catwalk ceiling it was amazing to see how it was made so much wood in the making of it and was amazing dry anyway great footage 👍😊

Roof in good condition,main thing in an old building.But realisically this would cost a fortune to restore.
Cant believe none of ya didnt noticed the Fox at 41.50 whilst down there
18:30 was a "adam the woo" reference I was just thinking about his videos.
First thing came to mind seeing them Hi-vis vest's, Ally's Law 😂😂
i did the cat walk 2 but some of the tiles are missing off the roof now but rest of the place still looks the same
It's a beautiful place it should be restored
Thanks Matt. .....
Good thing you cleared up your camera. I was going to ask for a refund! LOL!
Cheers to you to . Hadn't watched this one yet . Kept it in the Vault . You might say .
I noticed the fox, if you pause the video at 41.51, when your pointing at the boiler, it looks like you were pointing at the fox Matt

Matthew, if only you knew how close you was to the Birmingham Anchor cold War bunker 😂.
Wooley I never knew this.
Theycallme H search the Birmingham Anchor exchange on UA-cam and Google mate, there's loads of information on it. I know where all of the entrances are if you ever want to check it out.
Kris drop me an email then.
If you find a way into the anchor I'd like to come been to a few ways in cameras all over the place
neil doc I know where all of the entrances are, they are all tricky but I know which is the easiest. If you wanna give it a try let me know.
There appears to be a dead fox at 41.50 - or pretending to fox the interlopers. Nice slomos.
Yes I can't believe that that was there yeah I hope it's not dead
Join me....shal you?
