Was just having a flick through some Urban Exploration pictures and decided to search for any tagged with 'arcade' . The first picture I bring up and I see a brother to the Play-A-Coin I recently sold on (purchased from Forcefulfil )

...in fact, Pioneer House has stood for years without any progress and caused an uproar for its dereliction and lack of interest by the local council to get things moving and restore the place.

Things are happening now it seems, so access might be difficult. The thing is, I used to go to college in Dewsbury back in '93, and the arcade in this building STILL had a Defender on the go. I remember there being loads of retro machines shoved away at the back in like a storeroom. I very much doubt there'll be anything left in there, but believe me I'll be taking a look tonight.

so it doesn't look very likely there'll be anything. Click on the 1st photo and you can see the amusements as they were.

Its amazing whats out there

I have been working on rebuilding the Crossbow machine that was discovered like this

Bit stuck on the stuff to cover the wood though, I don't know if they used wood that was already covered, like stuff used for kitchen units type, or if it was covered afterwards it was cut out, as the artwork was all part of the whole side covering of wood

keep searching these sites though, its great to see whats lying around and some stunning places too
