Albany Ward sold his circuit to PCT in 1920 but retained management responsibilities for them, and, at the same time, managed later cinemas in the Westcountry area for both PCT and later, Gaumont when PCT were taken over in 1929. His main base and residence was in Weymouth, Dorset.
The Independent Cinema operator that took over in 1958 was BT Davis who bought it as a job lot of 5 Cinema off Rank. Those included Chepstow. Lydney. Monmouth which the family still own. The fifth at the moment I cannot remember.. age.. Later he took over Odeon’s Henley on Thames and Marlow.
We visited this cinema in August 2014 to watch a movie. The division for the second screen seems to have been very well done. We were in the old balcony, and it was great being so close to all the original ceiling decoration.
