NY1153 : SPAR shop, Solway Street, Silloth
taken 6 years ago, near to Silloth, Cumbria, England
SPAR shop, Solway Street, Silloth
A shed-like structure covers part of the building damaged in a ram raid three months previously. Thieves used a stolen digger to extract a cash machine from the wall, but abandoned their attempt to make off with it.
In the late 19th century this building was the Oddfellows Hall
Link , used also as a place of worship by the Presbyterian Church (Churches of Britain and Ireland
Link ). In the early 1920s it was converted to a cinema called The Picture House, renamed The Majestic in the 1940s, and closed in the early 1970s (information from Cinema Treasures
Link ).
