Krissy 'n' Chunk

Posted by Rhys (Darlington, United Kingdom) on 19 April 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This building is about 50m away from the cinema that I featured a couple of days ago. If you thought a cinema on the beach was weird this building is a nightclub called Leo's. It's a complete mess and currently up for sale (who will buy it I have no idea). This is taken from around the back (but believe me the front is not much better). What I find amazing is that this building and the cinema might both get the tide gently lapping at their bases twice a day but most of time they get a complete bashing from the North Sea. I imagine this area behind the nightclub has plenty of stories to tell, I think I'll let your own imaginations work on that one. The Graffiti is awful- I like a lot of graffiti but only that which carries some kind of artistic skill and sense of dexterity- non of the graffiti in Redcar displayed any sort of virtuosity- but that formed part of its charm in this location. I got quite a few shots of various inane scrawls on walls and windows and may post a few next week.
