Grand opening ad and article posted in the photo section.
Site sadly virtually cleared, pictures added
Good article with some great interior shots before it was stripped out

Demolition has begun although the cinema has been totally stripped internally, a very sad sight
does anyone know the western that was being shown here on the 4th of march 1952 as this was the day as this was the day i was born and my mother was here with my nan, and had to leave as she started to get labour pains and i was born a short time after, i have had a love of westerns ever since
Closing today as Mecca Bingo
Future uncertain, very likely demolition for housing
Those of us that used to go here in the 1950s would not describe the interior as plain. We found it to be a very classy joint!
