Possible raid location?

[ltearle]

After hearing Alpha1's tale of how he discovered the Duke, it inspired me. I went through a couple of the Urbex forums and did some searching. There are a few locations with some gems, so I thought I would post them here!

1. Space Invaders - Swansea

In this neglected building there seems to be a few fruitys and possible some video games, however there is only the one pic of a Space Invaders. Might be worth trying to find out who the owners are, I have emailed Swansea coucil to see if they have any more info.

2. Crossbow - Thornton?

Very run down building, open to the elements. However, theres a Crossbow and a possibilty of more machines.

3. Random cabs - Leeds

There seems to be a few other cabs in there, non dedicated from what I can see.

4. Pole Position - Dewsbury

There are some fruit machines and a Pole Position. On another Urbex forum they said there was also a Neo Geo.

Bare in mind that these pictures are 2-4 years old. So they might be there, they might not.

And if you have any pictures or find any location, post them!

Wow a Crossbow

Looks rather empty though, shame it was 2008, will be fecked now

I am pretty sure when that cinema with the the Space Invaders came up/was discovered, the owners were refusing to sell it and knew it was there. I certainly remember the pictures of the cinema though being fantastic.

That one in Leeds looks like a good little project as it looks to have the most machines.

Most recent pictures I could find were from 2009, and the side art looked ok. There is no harm in having a look

Yea the Leeds one could be a good one, depends what's happened since the pictures were took. Most places like this end up being demolished.

That Crossbow looks ok here - infact better than the picture you have

But then I found this later pic....

This is from Oct '10

Still looks like it could be saved - but ferk knows what it is like now. I would say if ANYONE is in Scotland go get it and check it out!!!

Because they can, it's a shame because it looked like a good cab. Still might be worth saving like Alpha1 said

If it wasnt for the Urbexers out there, Alpha1 would'nt have found the Duke and all those machine would still be there.

Indeed, they did the arcade community a huge favour with their little trip.

You say that, but on the Urbex forums they do say that there are more machine there, so you could come back with some more,

Grobda, IDChappy,

Can't believe you guys haven't gone yet! It says there's a few cabs in there. If you are an hour/half an hour away i'd have been in my car and back already.
