This rare view of the theatre was only revealed to view in recent years by the demolition of housing on Cromptom Street, which had hidden it for over 80 years:

ken mc; I really don’t know. When I first saw that photograph I thought ‘a closed down cinema’, only to do more research and find its still operating. I am visiting Barcelona next week to check out the cinemas and theatres, so should be able to report back and amend any errors in the Barcelona cinema/theatres list.
