I worked here as a manager between 1987 – 1993
It was never a triple screen, throughout the forum and talkies days, in 1993 screen 2 was sub let to laser quest and screen one was partitioned to make 2 smaller screens.
The projection equipment was Phillips and worked with cake stand platters, screen 2 was replaced by a kayley machine after it died, this was shipped over from bentleys at burton latimer when Ashley closed it, Kettering Ohio cinema lasted until the odeon opened in the town but the lease by that time had been sold to Brian mcfarlane who ran the old place until the bitter end.
Corby cinema through the 80’s and early 90’s had a great atmosphere, it was local and a cheap night out, 2 films for 2 quid, now that was a bargain.
