Report - Grand Theatre Doncaster October 2019

[Wappy]

The History
Its been done more times than the ex so i wont bore you with the full history.
Built on the site of a former Circus Hall, the Grand Theatre in Doncaster opened on 27th March 1899. The theatre stood in a prominent position facing Doncaster railway station and featured columns and arches on the frontage. Designed by by J P Briggs and built by local firm Arnold & Sons

The Visit
Forgot the number of times ive tried this over years to come away with nothing.As i was in area i thought id have a look.I seen a possible way but wasnt sure if it was big enough to get through.Anyway after abit of agreeing to disagree the best time to go about doing this we decided early evening was best.
After all the worrying getting in was the easy bit compared to getting out wow what a task that was lol

Anyway il shut up and let you look the photos

That's awesome isn't it, what a gem once you're inside, and sounds like it added to the achievement nearly getting stuck in there, did you go past the "No access beyond this point " sign haha
