Collapsed Hippodrome, England

This Collapsed Hippodrome was once a hive of showbiz talent and entertainment. In 1914 it opened as a theatre. It has been derelict since the late 2000s.
The stage is overgrown with trees and plants, and torn, white curtains hang from the proscenium arch. The ceiling and roof are partially collapsed, revealing the sky. The foreground shows the crumbling seating area with rusted metal railings and debris.

@ObsidianUrbex Yeah, it's a shame.

The fires were rather "convenient"...
