Danilo now demolished, another part of the history and character of Stourbridge gone forever!

Upon a recent visit, I discovered that the building is due to be demolished. I’ve uploaded an image of its current state.

The Interior is virtually the same as The Clifton Perry Barr The difference was the paint effect

This was a fine example of an 1930’s Earnest Roberts cinema .Bold red brick exterior with a vast art-deco streamlined auditorium.The site is excavated into the hillside with the front stalls and stage being ten feet below ground level.This resulted in a very low rear elevation but a high handsome frontage.This was ruined when a unsympathetic extension was built onto the front, hiding the tall stained glass upper foyer windows. This had the shortest life of all of the Stourbridge cinemas, a mere 23 years. People remember it more now from its Bingo and nightclub days that followed the closure. In a very reconstructed and altered form the building at the moment is still there in Hagley Road.
