Zen-Like Emptiness: The Great Yarmouth Empire

The Grade II* listed Empire Theatre, on Great Yarmouth seafront. Cinema, bingo hall, and, most recently, a nightclub called Zen, this once grand building was constructed in 1908, designed by an architect by the name of A.S. Hewitt. Still fairly dramatic, the nightclub closed in late 2008. The numerous pigeons nesting in the facade seemed fairly happy about the building's fall from grace, at least.
