This magnificent beast is found on the top of the former Kings Theatre on Trinity Street in Gainsborough. Opened as the Albert Hall in 1885 it was renamed the Royal Albert Hall in 1891 and screened the first films in the town in December 1896. By 1909 it was a cinema named the Kings Theatre and since then has had mixed fortunes. Repertory and variety theatre replaced films in 1958 and then bingo from 1992. Bingo ended in 2015 and the building has since been renovated but remains empty.

Oil wells at work behind Gainsborough Central Station. The output may be fairly small but the quality of the oil is very high.
