There’s confusion here; The building contained a number of halls, notably the ‘Large Hall’ (the subject of the cuttings posted by rivest266) which was accessed from Burton Street, and a smaller upper level hall with its entrance on Milton Street which became the Mechanics Cinema.

In the ‘60s I (as a boy scout) collected for something in the foyer of the Mechanics Cinema. I particularly remember it had a steep flight of stone steps between the street and the box office. While the film was on I got myself invited to the box, something which fascinated me then and still does.
I want to know how many meters long were the screen of cinemascope of The Mechanics' Halls cinema 1960. Thank you very much.
