The Theare was Owwned and Built by “The Capitol Cinema Ward End) Ltd.,
The terracotta for this building was made by Gibbs and Canning of Tamworth.
It is worth noting that this cinema was not in Birmingham. It is in Olton which is part of Solihull, which has never been in Birmingham, and is fiercely independent from its larger neighbour. The cinema was about 300 yards away from the boundary between Birmingham and Solihull.
