Ian Grundy commented about Princess-Empire on Sep 19, 2010 at 3:43 am

This is in Seaside Road but is NOT the cinema which shared premises with the Constitutional Club – that was the Tivoli and the above photos are of the Tivoli, not the New Classic. The New classic became the Manhattan Nightclub following closure, this too closed and after a long period of dereliction, the cinema was converted into the Reef'n'Beef restaurant and bar.

A photo of the New Classic as the Manhattan can be seen here:–
