The entrance is shown in the photo above as being on the corner of the building, and the cinema was two levels down in the basement. The remainder of the building is offices.

I was also employed here – probably the last Chief, still with the wonderful Malcolm (manager) and undertook replacing the screen, refurbishing the Vic 10 projectors, and getting the good reputation back. We also got the (wierd but wonderful) heating system working properly again. I left after it was twinned with the Odeon West End Management, and to my knowledge it then ran with 2 Senior projectionists and occasional reliefs, with management pulled daily from the OWE. The twin festoon curtains and coloured lighting presentations were rarely used after that. Phil Wharfe

I worked here too! The walls were not silk but cheap nylon. It was a very nice theater under the Chief: Bill Gibb (long may he rayne). However the asbestos in the roof drove everybody mad. Bill left and the cinema employed idiots I.E Fred & Sandy
