Restoration Update – 30.10.19

Occasional ‘up’s and down’s’ can often be met with trepidation but here at the Plaza this week’s examples certainly met with approval as the scaffold continues to come down to reveal the full extent of the restored neon with the side panels and ‘diamond’ shapes which draw the eye from the Plaza crown at the top of the venue down to the position of the soon to be installed canopy awning over our front entrance, whilst in the auditorium subject to contrary rumour we haven’t been invaded from creatures unleashed from our Quatermass pit which now houses our lower level Patrons Lounge and Art Gallery but by two large hydraulic ‘cherry pickers’ which have taken up residence as the painting of our beautiful auditorium commences.
