Pleased to say that the balcony is now reopened launched with a showing of ‘Roman Holiday’ 10th Feb 2023. This was a full house showing with live music in the bar area beforehand. The roof has also been renewed so the leaks are fixed.
The Curzon Community Centre opened on 20/4/1912 with an appeal to raise money for survivors and relatives of those who died in the Sinking of the Titanic 5 days earlier in the Atlantic Ocean near Nova Scotia, Canada. Ammount of money raised unknown?
The interior was extensively renovated for the centenary, opening out the foyer and opening up the Oak Room and the top floor to the public again. There is a viewing panel on the top floor onto the balcony which is still there, just a bit the worse for wear. A fully working “plumbed in” Christie organ was also installed, which is used regularly before evening shows and for concerts. The next job is to get the balcony fully restored.
