Western Electric Sound was installed in April 1930, with cinemascope arriving at the Tinsley Picture Palace in March 1955 with Richard Burton & Jean Simmons in ‘The Robe’ being the first feature shown here in this format.The cinema never opened on Sundays and never succumbed to bingo, being a cinema all its life.
