State Cinema

There is a December 1938 photograph taken at night (re-opening night perhaps?) on page 57 of the book ‘The Amber Valley Gazeteer of Greater London’s Suburban Cinemas 1946-1986’ by Malcolm Webb Published 1986. It shows the ‘new’ Art Deco style frontage designed by George Coles outlined in neon tube lighting with a ‘State’ vertical name sign. I have never seen photographs of the original 1910 designed building.

Three photographs that I have taken of the State Cinema:
As seen in Summer 1995:
