Cinema to be refurbished in the summer with new seating and decoration and an additional 3 screens to open at Komedia Brighton in Dec 2012
Here is a 1986 photo showing a rather run-down looking cinema:–

A fabulous cinema with an eclectic programming mix of mainstream and arthouse movies.The balcony has comfy sofas and there is a small but well stocked cafe bar with terrace at first floore level.Plans for the future include expansion into a former fire station next door to add more screens and cafe/bar
This is a 2009 photo.
Another exterior view is here.
Here is a link to a page showing a small vintage photograph and a potted history:

Two photos of the (somewhat seedy) auditorium in 1988. It has been refurbished significantly since then!

Is this going to cause arguments? I hope not. The shortly to be re-opened, refurbished, Electric Cinema in Station Street, Birmingham opened in December 1909 and has shown films under a variety of names since.
