Re Once Upon a Time in the Midlands, although the exterior shot in the film is of the former Capitol cinema in Radford, Nottingham, the interior bingo scene shots were filmed at the former Byron cinema in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. Both buildings still exist, but neither is in use as a cinema at the time of writing.
I spent many happy hours here and at the other local cinema The Beacon, as I lived in Stamford Avenue which is nicely in-between these wonderful places, Kids club at both and strongest memory seeing The Dam Busters and my aunt Ida cheering as the dams burst.
Have found an exterior view from better times
