Early picture shows were held here by William Haggar and Arthur Cheetham (and possibly John Codman), the Welsh Cinema Pioneers, in the first decade of the twentieth century. In 1966 the lessee was a J.L. Briddon and the venue seated 350 patrons. Cinemascope was fitted circa 1955 with a 20 foot wide screen in the 25 feet proscenium.
The cinema was open from Easter to October (closed throughout the winter) with one show daily on Tuesdays to Frisdays. There were two changes of programme per week. Admission was 2/– to 4/6d in 1966.
