Abandoned Ayr shopping centre branded scene from 'apocalypse' by urban explorers

In a nine minute video posted to YouTube, scenes have been shot from within the old shopping mall, which closed to the public four years ago. Abandoned retail units can be seen - many still with old stock left behind - including music equipment, bikes and vinyl records.

In the clip, posted by the YouTube channel 'Exploring With Natasha,' shattered glass lies over the escalators which lead up to the former food court - with large pools of water now covering the top floor having breached the roof space. Much of the ground floor remains untouched from the day the centre closed, with boxes of old stock on show - and everything from sports trophies to guitars and VHS videos still present.

The centre boasted popular chains such as Topshop, River Island and New Look. Over the years, though, it struggled to maintain a unique shopping experience - with the larger, more out of town retailers, increasing their influence as the years went on.
