The New Pavilion Building in Morley Leeds is imminently due to be sold by auction for redevelopment. We would like the building to be listed as a place of cultural interest and ideally  purchased by a trust that will oversee its renovation and repurposing into a community space that will benefit the local residents and possibly attract visitors to the town. The New Pavilion Building was designed by Messyrs Howarth and Howarth and opened in 1911 as a Cine-Variety theatre, it spent the best part of the last century serving the town as either a cinema or theatre before it became a bingo hall in 1968, it is however perhaps most famously known for been the location of the world renowned Orbit music events which were held there from 1990-2003 when the building was known as the Afterdark nightclub. The Orbit gained cult status amongst the worldwide clubbing scene and was known as the U.K. Mecca of Techno due to its cutting edge music and DJ bookings policy. Leading acts from around the world were a weekly phenomenon in this small Yorkshire mining town and the club developed a reputation as arguably the best Techno Institution in the world which still has many dedicated followers to this day. We feel the building deserves to be saved from demolition and this petition has been created as a last minute attempt to try and raise awareness of its importance in U.K. cultural and musical history. What happened here was once the UK’s answer to the world famous Tresor club in Berlin and it cannot be overlooked that demolishing this building would essentially be like demolishing the “Graceland” of 90’s Electronic dance music.
