Inside neglected former cinema with 'smell of dead body'

Urban explorers shared eerie footage from inside an abandoned cinema and said one part of the building "smelled like a dead body".

Standing on the corner of Lime Street is the former ABC cinema which used to attract hundreds of visitors every week. It had initially opened as the Forum in 1931, and was initially an ornate building, which today evokes memories of Hollywood's Golden Age.

Lime Street was once home to three cinemas. The ABC was the largest of them, while the Futurist and the Scala cut smaller figures. It entertained audiences for nearly 70 years but closed its doors in January 1998 with a final showing of Casablanca.
