I think the Art was on Lord Street and was demolished in the early to mid 1960’s.

There seems to be a stage and extensive dressing room accommodation at the rear in this shot.

Ian commented about Cannon Walsall on Nov 25, 2010 at 6:27 am

Looking at the photo above of Screen 2, that appears to be the full width of the original cinema, or is the photo very deceptive? So where was screen 3, they cannot both have been in the front stalls surely? Was it perhaps on the stage?

Ian commented about Scala Cinema on Nov 19, 2010 at 12:00 pm

The original architect is listed as being a local company H Mayo & Son.

The upper levels seem to have been converted into offices known as Scala House suggesting that the auditorium was gutted after closure. Windows have been inserted in the side walls. There is no trace of the original left in the amusement arcade.

Two photos of the Ritz taken in November 2010, the building is boarded up and is for sale with a national retailer apparently interested in the building.

Ian commented about Odeon Redhill on Oct 17, 2010 at 4:59 am

Thanks for changing the name! The text clearly shows what it is call now but finding the theatre in the list really does require the cinema name. :–)
