Another earlier photo of the top of the Pros arch and start of the arches at upper circle level (hidden behind the partition wall in the auditorium photos) here, showing how the building has been modernised, whilst retaining the basic structure.
Sadly the conversion to the Life cafe, stripped out most of the decorative detail of the former cinema, in a needless (since the basic form of the building remains) attempt at modernisation. A false floor has been constructed at LOWER balcony level (correction to main text above), with the upper balcony remaining (but stripped of its Edwardian Plasterwork) The is a Studio in what used to be the stalls.
