Owing to the wonder of architectural archives, here is the Royal Cinema in 1939 in its then original new decor. You can’t enlarge the original on-screen, but image-widening is possible by mouse contact.

This cinema (amongst others) was owned by my family business Jacey Cinemas Ltd., together with Ken Rive of Gala Films that no longer exists. Anyone interested in learning more can find my webpage devoted to the ‘History of the Jacey Group’ that included Jacey Cinemas, this was created by my late Grandfather Joseph Cohen (I am the last surviving Director) Please have a look at my website: – http://www.jncohen.net/JaceyGroup/JosephCohen.htm
