  • <p>A bad copy of a photograph taken shortly after the Gaumont opened, however, it is clear there appears to everything except the kitchen sink here and some areas look like rejected Mollo & Egan designs with a carbuncle clock. The opening programme does not mention an interior designer, so everyone must have had a go.</p>
