Mystery surrounds the future of a key site in Norwich city centre, following the demolition of a bingo hall.
Mecca Bingo, in All Saints Green, was reduced to rubble last year, but it is still unclear what will replace it.
Landowner Telereal Trillium has put up boards around the site, complete with plaques tracing the history of the building, which stood for more than 80 years.
But the London-based company has yet to reveal what the future holds for the site, which is estimated to be worth about half a million pounds.
While the company secured planning permission to knock down the building from Norwich City Council in 2012, no application has been lodged for what would replace the former cinema and theatre.
A spokeswoman for Telereal Trillium said there were no immediate plans for a planning application, but that future viable uses for the site would be considered in the months ahead.
Heritage watchdog the Norwich Society has previously called for the site to be left as an open space in the heart of the city.
When planning permission was granted in May 2012, one of the conditions was that the site be boarded off to prevent it becoming an 'eyesore or blank frontage'.
The boards which surround the site include plaques tracing the history of the building, one of the conditions which was attached to the planning permission.
The council has asked for photographs showing any historic features of the venue to be taken throughout the demolition
The building opened as the Carlton in 1932, holding just over 900 people.
A year later, it reopened as a 2,000-seater cinema, complete with stalls, which could also be used as a theatre for live entertainment.
It later became the Gaumont after a rather confusing sequence of events. A cinema in Haymarket (where Topshop is now) had also been called the Gaumont. It had previously been called The Picture House, although everyone called it the Haymarket.
It become the Gaumont in 1954 before closing in 1959.
Perhaps one of the most dramatic episodes in the building's lifetime came during the Second World War, during an intensive air raid of April 29, 1942.
An unexploded bomb smashed through the Carlton's canopy and burrowed under the outer wall.
Another memorable night was when The Rolling Stones played a concert there in 1964.
And the cinema broke Norfolk records for its 27-week run of the Sound of Music and a quarter of a million people were estimated to have seen it by the end of its run.
It was in the 1970s that it was turned into a bingo hall, trading as Top Rank, and then becoming Mecca Bingo.
Mecca Bingo closed after investigations found major structural problems and the repair bill was considered to be too high.
When that shut, the name transferred to the All Saints Green venue and it remained a cinema until the start of 1973, when it became a bingo hall.
