Advertisements for the grand openings in 1938 and 1967 have been posted.
If only that horrible metal cladding could be removed. The building would have a much more appealing street presence that way..
My uncle (and his younger sister, my mum) worked here before he owned The Palace. I’m looking for interior photos, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d be much obliged.
The former cinema is now occupied by the Winners International Coventry church since early 2017. Shops around the outside have been retained.
I visited the box once. The only thing I can remember is that to get the masking from WideScreen to CinemaScope, you had to go out to 70mm first then come back in! I saw mamy 70mm films there when I lived in the area, along with the Regal Leamington.
One I never got to get into, but remember the Chief very well, when she visited my cinema in Banbury one day, along with our area technician.
