Carlton Cinema

The Carlton Cinema opened in 1936, with a seating capacity of 600. All seating was on a single floor, but there were two boxes located at the rear of the auditorium.

It had an Art Deco style facade and foyer, but the auditorium was rather plain. The proscenium was 35 feet wide. It was independently operated throughout its cinematic life, and closed in 2003 due to illness of the owner. The seating capacity at closing was for 380.

The building was sold for re-development and was demolished in January 2007, for flats to be built on the site. In December 2006, cinema came back to the town when the New Carlton Cinema was opened in the former Market Hall.
