Old Amusement parlour getting refurbished, or wrecking ball. not sure which

[deep six]

Hi All

There is an old abandoned amusement parlour in King street newcastle that has sat idle for years. A lot of the machines could be seen through the dusty windows.
Cant remember the name of the place but might have been something like games people play.
I just drove past today and saw workmen inside, couldn't see any sign of the dozens of machines that used to be there. Wondering where the machines ended up, (sigh)

I checked this out a few years ago and Hankin owned the amusement place and the pins inside and tried to contact him as there was a hankin pin and a few really old 70's and 80's pins in there. Happened to walk past while his grandson was opening up for a possible vendor probably 2 years ago and he let me look around and he gave me a number for the person responsible for the arcade stuff and no ever returned a call after a few tries.

here is a google image, was a great place to go before the movies across the road in the 80's and 90's

It's getting fixed up, not for an arcade though as far as I know.
