Ian, the photo from 1989, brings back all the memories, i was there 1990/91 for work experience from school in Pontypool

Martin, the projectors were Philips/Kinoton FP20 and FP30s, only the lamphouses were Peerless

and yes screen 1 (and I do mean the screen not the auditorium) was the biggest in Wales

when I moved here to Glasgow I got a job as trainee projectionist at the Cannon Film Centre (5 screens) and cinema 2 being of a similar design and late 60s date and equipped for 70mm was the biggest screen in Scotland
