Marlborough Square (the square of many cinemas), Coalville

Showing the Marlborough Square Methodist Church and a bingo hall, converted from what was previously the Regal Cinema (1933). A second former-cinema (REX Cinema, 1938) is located along the road to the right, meeting with the other cinema in an L-shape. A third former cinema, the Coalville Electric Theatre (1910), still exists in another use at the opposite end of the square. Rather a lot of cinemas for such a small town! Only the Century Theatre remains operational today. Camera: Olympus Mju II Film: Kodak Gold 200 Scanner: Nikon D7200 Conversion software: Grain2Pixel (unedited)

Structures resembling Nissen Huts, Snibston Colliery, Coalville

Two former Military huts, presumably in use until recently as maintenance huts for the Snibston Colliery. The left hut in particular resembles a typical (albeit modified) Nissen Hut, featuring the characteristic dormer windows. The right hut appears to be a completely different specification. Taken from the former railway for the Snibston Discovery Park, recently demolished and converted into a footpath.

A dreary wasteland off Wolsey Road, Coalville

Looking towards the disused factory building off Baker Street, recently damaged by fire. The wasteland in the foreground was previously the site of another substantial factory building. Camera: Olympus Mju II Film: Kodak Gold 200 Scanner: Nikon D7200 Conversion software: Grain2Pixel (unedited)

Jackson Street, Coalville

Showing the former REX Cinema on the left, more recently a "Dunelm Mill" - even that has closed now. Unlike many cases of closed cinema buildings, this one's architecture seems relatively well-preserved.

Shops & old Level Crossing gates, Belvoir Road, Coalville

The railway line which formerly crossed this road was a spur mineral line serving Snibston Colliery. A cycletrack leads along the former rail route behind the gate in the image. On the other side of the road the gates enclose a patio dining area for an italian restaurant.

Snibston Colliery Railway, night

The railway that leads towards Snibston Colliery. The Snibston Discovery Park (its outdoor area seen to the far right) has been abandoned and is due for demolition. Apart from the Century Theatre and the key colliery buildings (e.g. the winding towers: one can be made out just to the left of the control box), the whole site will be turned into housing.
