Its amazing how many top class Theatres have been knocked down just to provide a car park

Just added two new pictures, It’s a shame this has happened, just so Sainsburys & Iceland can have a car park.

On my local East Midlands news, a group want to save this cinema and reopen it. The council has granted permission for it to be demolished for a “car park”. Expect news soon of a “suspicious” fire and the building having to be knocked down.

I saw my first film here with my father in 1964 which was the first of the biggest pop sensation of all time and their first film.I was 3 years old. I went in the evening once, and that was their next picture. After that many Saturday afternoons were spent there. My mum used to take me. You went in and I seem to remember the cash desk was on the left hand side, and you went up wide carpeted stairs to the auditorium. I think it was a much nicer cinema than its competition of the day. Fond memories of it for obvious reasons.
