I am sorry to hear that this building as been demolished. I worked at this theatre/cinema as a relief projectionist for EMI. It had a large stage with the dimmer board on the stage left and dressing rooms to the rear of the stage but had no fire curtian nor was there much of a fly tower.It was used as a bingo hall for some years but never paid it way and closed. It stood unuse for some years and started to fall apart, demolition was the only out come..

The Theatres Trust have now have the application for demolition!
Such a shame its gone to look so neglected since that 1986 picture was taken.
It would be great to get some interior pics before it disappears.
