Thought you might like this advert to go with your photo of the Lawn cinema. Found this in the Wigston archives of the opening day of the Lawn cinema in the Leicester Mercury on the 5th October 1936. Your photo is also interesting that my father must have built the garage as well because they both match.
Kind regards
Chris Stacey
I have recently found out that my father built lots of houses in Wigston as well, Kingston Avenue and others in 1937. I think the Lawn cinema was built in 1936 not 1937 as I originally said. One of the hall marks of my fathers properties are man hole lids with Stacey builder Birstall cast on the top, has anyone out there got one they may wish to sell. My email is .
The Lawn cinema Leicester was built by my late fathers company JCW Stacey builders Ltd. He also built the constitutional club which is right opposite and still survies but regretably not the cinema which is now a supermarket, these were built about 1937 which is when my fathers business came to an end for some reason unknown to me. He also built lots of houses in Birstall. There is an advert still remaining on the side of 221 Loughborough road a little bit faded. If anyone has any photos or information please drop me a email at
