There has been correspondence in the local newspaper regarding the Playhouse. Unfortunately I did not save it.
From memory it was claimed by one letter writer that they were the body negotiating purchase and to retain as a functioning cinema which was “very close to finalisation”. However negotiations ceased and apparently sale had been made to a property development company who have other sites in the vicinity.
Another writer said that any hopes of the cinema being returned to function should be dismissed as the property developer had removed curtains, seating and allowed an “archaeological” excavation in the auditorium floor. http://www.scottishcinemas.org.uk/uk/berwick.html has pictures and other information
