Concern over children getting access to State cinema site
By Nub News Reporter 9th Apr 2026
CONCERN has been expressed after children were spotted inside the derelict State cinema in Grays.
They appear to have gained access by a broken hoarding to the rear of the building and were spotted on its higher levels having gained access to outside areas.

A resident sent pictures to Nub News, which we have passed on, showing the access points.
She added: "It's all open at the back. The iron gates are open and wood has been taken down.
"It's incredibly dangerous for those children."
