The Gaumont was the second cinema in Hartlepool to be equipped for CinemaScope, playing The Black Shield of Falworth from Monday November 2nd 1954 (two weeks after the Forum had played The Command).

According to the Ordance Survey mapping on the NLS site, the street that the Gaumont was located on was called simply “Stranton” (also the name of the district), not Stockton Road which is further north. The final programme at the Gaumont was a revival double bill of A Town Like Alice and The Glen Miller Story for seven days from Sunday November 13th 1960.
