The Cinema was part of The Royal Hotel, main part now being HSBC. The Cinema space being to the right if you were looking at the building. As for the coat of arms on HSBC side wall, it’s the coat of arms of the Original Royal Hotel. I was looking for images of the cinema and the hotel as my great great grand father owned all the Horse and Carriages in Falmouth, and the family owned the stables beneath The Royal Hotel, my grand mother told my mum that they were where the grand was. I at first thought that it was the name of the hotel, but have since learned that it’s not but obviously the cinema she was talking about lol.. I also learned tonight it was the foremost Coaching Inn in Falmouth at the time. So all gels… And prior to it being called The Royal Hotel it was Called Wynn’s Hotel, which was the hotel Lord Byron stayed at before leaving on a ship bound for Lisbon I think, also if anyone is interested there’s a poem of his in link below that was written At Wynn’s Hotel, talking about is pending voyage and the doom he felt. Anyway thought I’d fill you in.
ps also have a couple pictures if anyone wants to see them let me know.
