Great photos of the exterior and interior. It brings back memories of my only visit there when I saw ‘The Phantom of Liberty’ (plus a short foreign cartoon, the title of which I can’t remember – can anyone help?) in July 1981. The interior shot shows the auditorium as I remember it, a single shallow seating block and a large square-ish screen.

The retail store that was based in the former foyer of the building was closed in summer 2006. The foyer and auditorium are now in use as Camden Indoor Market. Unfortunately, all plasterwork has been removed from the auditorium, leaving bare walls and the metal roof trusses exposed inside the roof. The terrazo mozaic floor at the entrance with the word ‘Plaza’ has also been removed or cemented over.
