Hi Gorden, the stairs do exist, that whole wall is a partition wall put in when the building was converted to a bingo hall. As if you go through the door you can go down the stairs and and banister it still there, which leads to a fire exit.
If you look round the sides of where the screen used to be you can still find old bulbs. The building is fitted with some kind of early ventilation system, attached to plenum although some of the holes are now boarded up due to bad drafts.
I work here, and I find the building amazing, the acoustics are great too.
In a couple of years time, this club will be relocated staff have been informed to a new purpose built club. Over the last 15 years nothing has been done to the building.
I will try take some current pix of inside as it is now, and the projector room. Although theres not much left.
I would like to know if there are any more photos of this cinema/bingo hall from the past. I currently work for Mecca Bingo at the Halifax club and its not changed too much.
I am interested in shots of the foyer and the stairs and the hallway upstairs.
Hi, does any one know what the first film shown was?
