The photo was taken shortly before the cinema became part of the Cannon chain. It later became MGM, then ABC, and finally EMD before closing in January 2003, following the purchase of the building by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. The building remains closed because planning permission to convert the building into a place of worship was refused. It houses the sole remaining original in-theatre Christie cinema organ in the UK.
