The outside of this building was used in the tv series “Endeavour” in the episode “Cartouche” as the fictional Roxy Cinema, set in Oxford(the inside shots were filmed at the Broadway Theatre in Catford).
The screen(when reopened) was put over to the right hand side of the ramps, so the headlights from the cars going to and from the ten pin bowling building next door, would not interfere with the movie screenings on the screen.
The snack bar and projector box building has been demolished, except for the floor. The light poles are still there too. The entrance and exit roads(and possibly the ramps too?) are still there too. The ten pin bowling is still there too(and being used too).
