I remember this ruin, at the corner of Fountain Road (if memory still functional), a few yards from a major hospital…maybe a blessing regarding bombing. How good if it can be preserved, although was in poor state when I last saw it 20 years ago.
Incidentally came here regarding the other “National” almost diagonally across the road. That had an afterlife as a bowling alley.

Anyone reading here got anything on the Strand, further down towards town and seemingly suffered spontanious combustion in the early 60`s?

After the National was destroyed in the raid, the former Coliseum / Rialto cinema on Terry Street (just off Beverley Road) took the National name until it closed in 1961.
