The hall is located at 2 Racecourse Road. It has been converted into retail, with amongst others, Mundy’s Second Furniture stores, whose address is The Old Hibernian Hall.
The Working Men’s Club in this has been closed. However, the good news is that it has been tidied up inside and out, and is now known as ReSpace Peterborough, a community based project which sees the building now a community centre at the heart of New England in the city.
Having checked with the Falmouth Poly Archivists, this is NOT the former Kosey, sorry. It’s another general purpose hall, the Kosey was up an alley from near the harbour with the main building out of sight from the main road.
The bingo operation closed sometime ago, and planning permission to demolish them eyesore building’ as the local newspaper describes it has been approved. The building’s future looks bleak.
Far from being demolished, the building used as the cinema still stands, now known as Anderson’s Court, however, the front building has been demolished.
This is strange, as Surrey County Council offered the vacant site of the former Crescent Cinema to build the new theatre, as the town’s only other repertory theatre, the former Ace Cinema had become too small for the company operating from there. So, I think that this text is incorrect, it’s a new build, on an older cinema site, not altered as it says here.

Interesting that the conversion to a cinema from corn exchange meant a nod to the past, with the inclusion of corn seed head decorations in the grilles by the proscenium. A nice touch.
The building was a conversion of the earlier built Liverpool Victoria Insurance companies offices in Burnley. Opened Monday, September 18th, 1922. Demolished in 1956 in favour of a department store, that in turn too was demolished for the current McDonalds.

This building has been demolished completely, all newly built flats comprise Empire House.
It’s now called Raymond Hall.
Later called the Picture Palace, it must have continued on after 1907.
According to Consett Magazine, the Globe Cinema closed in 1926.
The Woolstore Theatre is a different building, the Palace having been demolished years ago.
Dunelm Mill has ceased trading in the former Rex, it is currently boarded up and unused.

The final incarnation on retail, this time the photo is from 1956 when newly opened as a Co-Op Furnishing & Hardware store.
As the ABC Plaza Cinema, in 1954 just prior to closure.
As the Drill Hall, prior to being converted into a cinema.
This picture is upside down, surely?
I was unable to obtain exterior views of the location as it is a live military base, I trust you all understand, and are happy to see inside!
There is now a civilian cinema in Port Stanley itself, it has it’s own entry on here, under Harbour Lights Cinema.
Sadly, now in 2020 it is boarded up and for sale.
