As of October 2019 this is now the Slug and Lettuce pub with the True Vine Church upstairs.
The Cannon Group didn’t take over this, and all the remaining Island cinemas until the mid 80’s. The bingo finished here in 1987 during Cannon’s ownership.It remained the Picturedrome up until it’s closure on the 17th Feb 2000 with the final films being “House on haunted hill” and “American beauty”
Have load an early Picture of the Theatre
According to the caption accompanying this photo, the cinema was later known as the Studio after the stalls became a bingo hall.
