The Compton was not the first to be fitted with an illuminated console, that honour went to the Capitol Cinema, Forest Hill, which was installed in September 1932, three months before Morden opened. Also there is no pub on the site any more, a Lidl supermarket occupies most of the site - Iceland is still there.
The Embassy was not demolished to be redeveloped as a parade of shops called Chatsworth Parade. Chatsworth Parade (which was originally a terrace of houses with that name) is on the northwest side of the junction of West Approach and Queensway, whilst the Embassy was on the southeast corner of that junction.
The site-including its car park-was redeveloped and a Safeway supermarket built on the site, which later became Morrisons, which it still is today.
As of March 2016 the site is occupied partly by the car park of Dunelm Mill, which was previously Morrisons, and a public car park The right hand retail shop still exists!
