Buildings like the Palladium are just too numerous..there's a similar building in Church (the one, like the Palladium, that became a Bingo hall and then a Snooker Hall).....the problem is they date from the 1920's/30's, they've been mucked around inside, they are mostly of little architectural merit and to restore them to their original function would be uneconomic.

The building should be as far as possible, unique in original function and design...thats the only way it will stand any chance of making the short list, never mind the buildings that appear on the TV show itself....and remember, last year there was an Accrington connection with Bullough's castle in Scotland.
