Linslade Mews

10 New Rd, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard LU7 2LX

Synopsis

Witness the rise and fall of The Warehouse, a rave venue from Plymouth and times gone by now reduced to a

derelict shell. We explore its history, its people and the future. An amateur filmmaker-explorer finds the building in an

empty derelict state, long after the prosperous life and energy it endured through the 90s. Through a combination of

archives and stories of people who lived there, the film explores through the medium of analogue what once was and

how even a now silent derelict shell can become the centre of the universe.
