I can confirm that the snooker club has now closed, it closed around two months ago. I had no idea about the buildings history until I stumbled across this page. It now explains why the snooker club only occupied the left two thirds of the building. It’s sad that the building is known in the area as a hot spot for drug dealers, and only wish someone could restore the place to it’s former glory, the area would benefit much from it. I find the buildings history truely fascinating and will be watching to see where its future lies.
By the way, does anyone know where I could find some photo’s of the interior when it was a cinema?
