Great to see the Zetland on your site. I have many happy memories of this as a cinema as a child I especially enjoyed the Operatic Socierties productions in the 1960’s and seventies. Why this building is not listed is beyond me I was pleased to see the building re-rendered. I hated the exposed bricks. Why do people in Richmond feel every building in Richmond has to look Georgian The hideous modern sloping roofed canopy and the shop windows detract from an otherwise good art deco frontage. The building could and should be returned to its opening appearance. I know you will think me mad but I much preferred a visit to the Zetland to one at the Georgian. The Zetland is a good example of a small town art deco cinema.
