A good old fashioned cinema. Originally the old town hall, it sits above a bookshop with two screens. The larger (screen 1) has a balcony, whilst screen 2, much smaller, has a list of the mayors of the town on the back wall, still left over from its days as a town hall. Pictures of classic film stars hang on the walls, and in the entrance stairway pictures of Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chaplin are on display. There is a traditional box office, with a small ticket off a roll, which is torn by the steward a whole three foot walk away.
In short it is a quaint little cinema, still going despite competition from a modern multiplex a few miles up the road.

Another “quaint” cinema nicely described on this site is the Gem Cinema in Newport, Wales, q.v.

Here is a website for this cinema.
Cool!! Glad there’s another cinema that’s not a big multi-theatre cineplex.
