Hmm. I think there may have been a mistake in the Architects dept. pencil mark.

The first looks like the original auditorium of the Victoria Cambridge…….

The photos in Ken’s links appear to show a completely different auditorium to the photo heading the article.

I’m sorry to report that l was the closing manager for this fabulous building. As soon as the last patron had left the building after the last dreadful program (Creepshow), engineers were removing the tabs and projectors while we held a staff closing party in the Licensed Bar. One of our 70mm projectors (Philips dp75, l think,) ended up at the ABC Brighton in time for the first showing of ET in 70mm.
