Exploring The UK's LAST EVER ABC Cinema
Todays we explore an abandoned ABC cinema the last one to close down in the Uk. Also we find loads of crazy stuff left inside this could also be one of the best explores this year for me.
History
Cinema was built for and operated by Associated British Cinemas(ABC), and was designed by their ‘in-house’ architect William Riddle Glen. It opened on 19th June 1937 with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Shall We Dance.
On 31st May 1951, the World Premiere of the British musical film Happy Go Lovely starring Vera Ellen & David Niven was held at the Westover Cinema. The premiere was attended by film stars Bebe Daniels, Ben Lyon, Googie Withers and music hall artist George Robey. Also in 1951, the UK Premiere of the MGM film Showboat starring Howard Keel was held here. In March 1958, the ? Cinema was re-named ABC. They closed the ABC on 4th January 2017 with a special screening of “Back to the Future”.

The Big Wheel from Blackpool,UK.
It Looks fabulous after saw the pictures of the big wheel from our client.
It really has been a huge undertaking.
Because the LED system for the Big Wheel has been a huge challenge for the workers.
They put lots of pixel lights on a big wheel - P386V24.
They should drilled lots of holes for the aluminum profile for installation.
And need designer to make the lighting effect for the lights.
Anyway, now the Big Wheel has undergone a full transformation and will be bring many tourists.
Hope you’ll visit it and enjoy it!
