King's Theatre

The building definitely wasn’t entirely closed as a cinema from 1967 because I used to go there to see films on the odd occasion between about 1974 and 1976(it wasn’t my nearest cinema so I only rarely needed to go there to see a particular film.) It must have been from 1974 onwards because I used to drive there and that was the year I passed my test. I then left the area in 1976 so have no memory of it closing. I don’t specifically remember, but I suspect that Star split the cinema into a bingo hall (probably downstairs) with a smaller cinema remaining in the former balcony, as they did with some other smaller cinemas they owned.
