Nice exterior and lobby shot(s). Do you have any more, or is that the lot you have?

the huge iron tower on the front was meant to represent the former steelworks upon which the cinema and shopping centre were built. Internally the cinema was a carbon copy of the american AMC sites of the time, with auditoriums in dark pink and maroon.
The screens originally seated 350 x 2, 254 x 2, 224 x 4, 175 x 2.
In its glory days the cinema topped annual attendances of 1.1million customers per year, since then it has faced increased local competition from the nearby Showcase 14.
