Court Kinema

Located in the West Sussex seaside town of Shoreham-by-Sea. This was built in 1800 as a chapel on what at the time was named Star Lane. In 1908 it was converted into a lecture & concert hall by William Edward Winton and operated as Winton’s Hall. It was given a Cinematograph Licence on 28th February 1910. On 12th October 1914 it was re-named Star Theatre and in 1915 became the Star Electric Picture Palace. By 1922 it had been re-named Star Cinema, and in 1924 it was re-named Court Kinema. It was closed in 1927 and went into other uses.

Today, with an altered facade it is used for storage by the Co-operative Food Store who operate from the High Street around the corner.
