Queen landmarks in your town today

Any important Queen landmarks in your town? Post a pic of how they look today.

I'll start - Playhouse Theatre, London WC2N - A Kind Of Magic video.

I'd absolutely love to visit all those Queen landmarks someday... Queen never were in my country so I can't contribute here but hopefully a lot of people will.

Sunderland Locarno. Demolished 6 years ago and the site of Queens only Sunderland gig. Queen 2 tour March1974.Now a Tesco store.
I live less than a mile from here and at the time I had no idea that they were playing just along the road or enen who they were.

Caird Hall in Dundee, they played there in 1975. That's how the hall looked this April when I was giving a concert there with the local symphony. I was playing the piano, and no, it's not the piano Freddie used, that one in the photo was bought in the 80s.

The very first Queen gig in my home city of Sheffield was on Bonfire night - 5th November 1974 at "Sheffield City Hall"

They never came to Northern Ireland but they did play several times in the Republic Of Ireland. Notably Dublin in '79 and twice in '84, but by far the most infamous one was in Slane in '86.

All the venues (RDS Simmons Hall and Slane Castle Grounds) are still there and I've driven past Slane Castle a few times and man is it big haha.

I grew up close to Honiton Hall, Penketh (which is a parish of Warrington).

Queen didn't play there but Freddie did in 69 when he was in Ibex.

I've been past places Queen played in the early days like Wade Deacon school for girls in Widnes and the College of Technology in St Helens.

I love this thread.

Chin, next time you can take a few pictures!

Awesome

Yes, 'tis a great thread!

I just spotted a Liza Minelli advert. Nice coincidence :)

I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. Queen played Joe Louis Arena (still standing but defunct and scheduled to be demolished next year, now that the Red Wings have a new arena) in '80 and '82. I never saw any concert there, I usually went to either the Palace of Auburn Hills or Pine Knob (now DTE something-Theater), but I saw more than a few Red Wings games and even a few games of the Detroit Drive (former arena football team).

Also, this is what the Joe Louis Arena looked like with a concert going on (though I have no idea what concert is pictured...lol):
