Is the screen, ticket booth, bio box, or candy bar still there?
My brother in law had a free pass as an advertiser and my fiancĂ© and I saw many great films there. Most notably the hilarious ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
This is now a children’s soft play centre, and I was shown round by the very pleasant and helpful proprietor. From the circle front forwards and downwards, most of the original detail has gone, which I suspect must have happened when ABC turned it into a ‘Luxury Lounge’. However, above that level, quite a lot of original plasterwork survives. I took a few pictures and have added them to this entry. It’s good to see the building being used, and the proprietor seems very proud of the place.
Have added picture of view of stage 1966 experiment I did taking 2 shots…
