Ian commented about Granada Clapham Junction on Oct 14, 2007 at 11:28 am

I have just spent some time submitting a new listing for this theatre because of the inaccurate location on CT. This is Clapham Junction NOT Battersea!

There seems to be a policy now of listing theatres as (for example) Granada Theatre, or Granada Cinema, when actually the location is (almost) part of the name – Granada Bedford or Granada Clapham Junction. This is detrimental to those seeking to add to the site as it is often difficult to find if the theatre has already been listed.

Entries are vetted and altered by CT volunteers too readily IMHO and a thorough look at how theatres are identified needs to take place.

A couple of interior photos here – apart from the former circle foyer, there is no need to get excited – there is only so much you can do in a black box, with hardly any lights on, with a camera!
