Now demolished :-(
If this building was transported to a ‘hip’ location in London, they’d be clambering to have it re-opened for films or as a cultural centre. Alas, Lincolnshire is a cultural backwater I fear….
The design of this cinema is almost perfect to its function, with no waste, simply exactly what is needed for 780 people to watch a film, go to the toilet and buy an ice cream. The interior streamline modern design is just enough to create the sense of occasion and value without going over the top. The amazing facade however is testament to the fact builder / operator were the same and the frontage is as much a show of the builders skill and craftsmanship (Eastwood & Sons) as it is a cinema frontage. Current plans are to demolish the auditorium for a supermarket but retaining the facade, although there is some who want it all demolished because they do not like the look of it!
