This theatre had, to say the least, rather a chequered history. The dates relating to its later cinema days seem to be slightly adrift. The Tivoli , for a while, from 1976, became the Central Exchange Bingo Club (license transferred from premises which occupied the former B.R. Central Station). A year later, in 1977, it returned to cinema use and this continued until either 1980 or 1981. When I passed the cinema in 1980 the attraction (for the Summer Season) was ‘George and Mildred’ with support ‘ From Russia with Elton’, a 42 minute self explanatory documentary. After a couple of weeks into the run, the titles were ‘swapped’ with the 42 minute documentary headlining and ‘George and Mildred’ being billed as the support - not a good sign…..
I just love our classic traditional cinemas, its a shame they are no longer with us.
