Hi,

Thanks very much for this info. – if anyone has any more, I’d like to hear it! Does anyone remember visiting this cinema in the 30s, and particularly, are there any photos of the building or staff at this time?

I’d especially like to hear from anyone who remembers Thomas Jarrett, who put in the equipment and was projectionist from this time until the cinema closed, or his wife Ivy Wood / Jarrett, who was usherette, and a projectionist during the war, or Marjory (‘Marny’) Cartwright, who was also an usherette, I believe.

Cheers, K

this entire side of London Road has been cleared including the Coliseum Pub, and on the site has risen the vast Westfield Shopping Centre including the Showcase DeLux cinema which is ironically directly above where the Coliseum stood

A photograph of the Coliseum Cinema I took in its final week, prior to closing in August 1961
