Nuvic Cinema

In the 1927 Kinematograph Year Book the Sedbergh entry is just “Cinema” with no other information at all. In KYB 1928 there is a full entry; it is being run by a Victor Besso, who is still running it in KYB 1933 when there is no sound system listed. In KYB 1935 it has an Electrocord sound system and is being run by W D Clark (no ‘e’). It is still Electrocord and Clark in the KYB 1957 entry.

The building is interesting. If the auditorium rake followed the fall of the land, an entrance at the road end would have been at the screen end. Otherwise, the rake would have gone below ground level at the screen end away from the road. A blocked up side exit is just discernible in the above photo and in the Google Streetview.
