As this was the first cinema to be built by David Nye, Shipman & King engaged Leslie Kemp FRIBA as consulting Architect for the Embassy Maldon. Kemp was engaged by S&K for their new cinema Embassy Braintree the previous year. Leslie H Kemp Collection. Ron Knee
Opening date was 19/03/1936.
Wurlitzer organ was a three manual six rank instrument.Removed to a residence in Capel st Mary near Ipswich with an odd arrangement of the console in the house and the pipework in a building at the end of the garden.The organ was mic`d up and the sound fed through leslie speakers in the house.The owner then emigrated to South Africa but only took part of the organ with him.
The link does not work.
