See inside abandoned Debenhams shop in Bury St Edmunds

Passers-by can catch a glimpse inside the abandoned Debenhams shop, in Bury St Edmunds, this morning.

Workers are on site and glass has been removed from the front of the unit, in the arc shopping centre.

Emergency lighting is on inside the former department store, which closed last year.

Plans have been submitted to transform part of the empty shop's basement into a cinema.

Bury WM Unit Trust has drawn up proposals for an Everyman Cinema. West Suffolk Council is considering the proposals for flexible use for retail and a cinema which would also contain a small bar/restaurant.

A planning statement said the ground and first floors of the building would remain in retail use and a national retailer has expressed an interest in the space.

The cinema would feature four screens and a smaller screen for private hire with 306 seats in total.
