Information for this tour was contributed by Ken Roe. This opened in 1913 as the Empress Picture Theatre. It was re-furbished in 1951 and was re-named Rex with a slightly reduced seating capacity of 514. It closed in June 1970, but was re-opened later that year becoming the Screen on the Green. It was modernised, retaining its original features in 1981 and continues to operate as a single screen cinema showing a mix of current releases and art house films. At night it is quite spectacular when lit by multicoloured neon strips outlining the shape of the building.
