Whilst being unaware of when the cinema opened, it was certainly in existence in 1938, with Maddison sound supplying the sound. At this time it had 550 seats priced at 5d to 1/– with one show per night. By 1951 it was in the hands of J.R. Lewis of Caerphilly and had reduced its seating to 500 seats priced at 7d to 1/6d, but still with just the one show per night.
I think both the photographs on this listing are of the same building which I understood was the Workman’s Hall.
