Some time in the 1980s the owners of nearby record store, Selectadisc, tried to buy the Classic with the intention of turning it into an arthouse cinema with “…music, food, drink and DJs etc.”
I have a photograph of what is now Yatess, on which is blazoned “Talbot” and “Kings Theatre”. Until 1913 the entrance was from the rear of the Talbot. From 1913 the entrance was from the other end, on Market Street, which resulted in the auditorium entrance being at the screen end.
According to ‘Lenton Times’ issue 45; “in 1908 the King’s Theatre became Nottingham’s first regular cinema.”
