The cinema could seat 720 people at opening at prices of 6d to 1/3d. Programmes were continuous and a British Acoustics sound system was installed. In 1951 this had been replaced by a British Thomson Howell system and 750 seats were now available at prices of 1/– to 2/3d. Prior to 1966 the sound system was changed yet again to a G.B. – Kalee system and programmes were continuous from 5.15pm

I heard today, from an old school friend,that the Capitol was demolished in 1995.

The Capitol received its first cinematograph licence in 1934.
