Ian commented about Picture House on Aug 21, 2009 at 4:35 am

Sadly the venture was short-lived and the Picture House closed again on 31st October 2008. It had been relatively successful, but costs were set to rise and the organisers could not afford to subsidise, even in the short term, a loss.

A beautifully restored, extended, and very friendly cinema. Lucky Geordies!

Ian commented about Bude Leisure Centre on Jun 16, 2009 at 7:26 am

Photo of the Picture House, dating from around 1976 here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/stagedoor/74755252/

It was operating as a cinema at this point (showing Silver Streak released in 1976), with no bingo signage, so I am not sure if the above date is wrong or if it reopened for films after bingo? Anyone with a definitive answer

Ian commented about Futurist Theatre on Jun 12, 2009 at 7:06 am

Scarborough Council have the results of yet another consultancy (who did not bother to contact the lessee of the Futurist) which recommends putting all entertainments into the Spa Grand Hall and closing the Futurist.
