Worked there as a projectionist in 1960 under Ray who lived in Kings Road. His wife was one of the usherettes. Occasionaly full houses in the summer with visitors if it rained. When the traffic backed up around the Island during the summer due to the Langstone railway gates shutting, the staff would go out and sell drinks and refeshments to the motorists. two Kalee 12 projectors with Premier arc lamps and a slide projector. Some of the films for the childrens saturady matinees wereof Nitrate base and highly flammable.
