I visited this cinema in the lat 40s early 50s , as the Dominion, as a film goer, my brother was a projectionist I used to help him in the box, later getting a projectionist job at the Gaiety Cinema in Peter street Manchester ,this cinema was linked with the Theatre Royal ( facing) and the New Oxford further up the road.
