The death of Alan Silvers has been recorded on 12 Feb 2021. He worked at the Savoy from 1947 as a rewind-boy, rising through the ranks and eventually becoming Managing Director. It is no exaggeration to say that the survival of the cinema is down to his commitment.

I think that “rebuilt” is an unfortunate choice of word, the original cinema was adapted with two screens below the balcony, which was extended forwards to create a three screen venue. The fourth screen was added later on the original stage.

According to Harry Wilding, writing in https://www.leftlion.co.uk/read/2014/january/savoy-cinema-6349/ “Its single auditorium was rebuilt in 1972, when the original Vitrolite cladding was removed, and it upgraded to three screens. It has since had a fourth added.”
