A “haunted” 100-year-old cinema has been found with its seats, screens and projectors still intact.

The Picturedrome was an independent cinema that opened in 1920 and later became a Curzon.

It shut up shop in January 2020 due to competition from other larger chains moving into the area.

And now urban explorer Sean Piper, known as URBEX online, has taken a peak behind its dusty, boarded up windows.

“The cinema was pitch black and very smelly, lots of pigeon mess around,” he told What’s The Jam.

“Once you got past that, it was amazing as some of the screens and seats were left behind, plus some cool movie posters.

“It was very nostalgic.”

The adventurer and content creator, who regularly explores abandoned properties, said that the highlight of his visit to the cinema in Eastbourne, East Sussex, was finding a largely untouched projector room.

He also shared pictures of an old poster room which showed images of various films plastered over the walls.

Sean’s post on TikTok gathered almost 8,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

One user said: “I used to go there as a teenager!! Saw so many good films there, still so sad that it closed. Such a cool place to go!”

One person joked: “I feel so bad this beautiful building didn’t get a decent last movie to show. CATS of all things.”

Another person added: “Wow it only closed in 2020?

“That’s insane decay for that relatively short amount of time.

“It always amazes me just how quickly buildings go down hill.”
