Alas, Miah’s restaurant, like the cinema and chapel before it, is now closed and up for sale.
How well I remember the novelty of seeing the Joe Orton adaptation Prick Up Your Ears in Studio 1, distracted by the sound of running water from a faulty ballcock in the toilets situated on the right-hand side of the auditorium, and the hat of an elderly lady several rows in front as she nodded off, we wondering whether her hat might actually fall off on to the floor. O tempora, o mores!
Lloyds Bank, alas, closed in April 2016. The cinema was also mentioned in a poem by Swansea’s ‘other’ poet, Vernon Watkins, dedicated to Pearl White.

In fact the Lloyds Bank is a new build, so I think this cinema should be listed under ‘Demolished’ rather than just ‘Closed’.
