The location marker is in the wrong place. The location was much further north; on the right hand side of Hoe Street at its junction with Forest Road. The cinema was directly across the road from The Bell.

Unusually the snooker club was based upstairs rather than in the stalls. I made several visits here in the late 1980s. A change of management meant I didn’t get the free frames that I used to. A small fruit machine arcade was located in a side shop on Hoe Street.

I was somewhat surprised today when passing on a local bus to see the site being pulled down, naturely i jumped off bus and took a few photos to show the old building in the process of being demolished. Housing will be in its place i understand.

There is some additional information about and pictures of this theatre here (scroll down about two-thirds of the way). This text claims that the theater opened as the Empress rather than the Empire, and that it functions now as a religious centre.
