Central Cinema

Castle and Central cinemas owned the cinema from at least 1924 and ran it on 2 changes of programme per week at prices of 5d to 1/3d. They installed Western Electric sound system to see it into the sound era. It was noted as having 890 seats in 1951 when prices were 0d to 1/9d.

Further information may be found in the book about the Solomon Andrews companies. A large amount of archive material also exists which will be more accessible in 2010 when the Record Office moves to larger premises.
