Information for this tour was contributed by Ken Roe. The Cinema (it never was known by any other name) was an early casualty of the downturn in cinema-going due to the arrival of television. It was operated by the Gaumont chain from 1928 until its closure. After laying empty for four years it was used as a meat storage facility until 2001. In May 2004 plans were announced to re-open the building as a community cinema, possibly to split into several screens. Photos
