hi i worked in this cinema in pontarddulais for 3 years with the last owner and his wife witch i enjoyed i still can remember going up the steps seeing the posters on the right and left of the steps walking throe the big doors and seeing the kiosk in front of you with the smile of a old lady welcoming you in not many teeth left tho she made me smile tho just on the left of the kiosk there was some concrete spiral steers going up to the balcony with beautiful red and brown seats and a huge beautiful sealing up there you cold see all the other people down on the bottom floor just on the other side was the projection room i remember the big projectors up there and a big man in there cant remember his name. down the bottom of the steps just by two small brown doors you went into the main room it was huge with all the red and brown seats there and right down the bottom of the room was the stage and the big screen it was fantastic and on the right of the seats was the fire exit it was a shame that a young boy broke in and set fire to it and he was only 9. i remember when it burnt down i was opposite in a pub called the sheaf i have lived in pontarddulais for 49 years i went there with my dad as a young boy and went there with my mum to play bingo so sad to see old buildings going to waste and being puled down to make room for spar shops and flats after the cinema went there was nothing left to go to for the children of pontarddulais like now everything is going so sad yours peter lewis
