This was located at the north end of Britain Road, where Britain Road ran up against the south service road of Highway 183. The screen was on the south side of Highway 193, and faced south.

The 183 Drive-In operated during the 1950's and 1960's, and it screened "The Great Locomotive Chace" in 1956, and a re-release of "X-15" in 1961 and the 1962 movie "Tales of Terror" in 1964.

The concession stand was a substantial cinder-block structure, which had a seating area, maybe four rows of ten seats, that face the screen through a picture window.

The 183 Drive-In was operating until around the late-1960's, and the screen was standing until c.1968. The location is now a freight depot for trucks.

Car capacity was 400. Status is demolished.

Entrance looks to be on Britian Rd. What shows as a 1979 aerial view, makes it look like it's still operating.
