At Preston Community Library [Wembley] on Sat Sept 30th, 7pm we are having an event about people’s memories of going to the cinema in the 1960s. I would like to use the picture [and others] in the display to stimulate the discussion? with regards LGReen

photos of the building work july 2009, a new metal roof with skylights is on and the exterior is being rendered, its surrounded by green mesh so its hard to see if any of the original detail is being replicated

the granada is currently surrounded by scaffolding, all the ornate detail on the exterior has been removed and huge windows have been cut into the side walls and the front. Internally the building has been stripped back to the bare brick and at least one is not two floors have been inserted.
one interesting feature to be exposed is the original wrought iron canopy frame, i dont know if this will survive the convertion.
When finished the building will have a church on the ground floor and offices and apartments above.
