The 360° tour can also be seen on Google Streetview, e.g.:

XPlus auditorium.

Difficult to tell the exact model (possibly JBL 8330 or 8340) but the side speakers certainly do not appear to have been upgraded to the more recent superior models intended for “premium large format”/Atmos installations.

Cinema plans are available as part of the 1999 planning application for the 2 screen extension.
