Originally opened as the Savoy Cinema in 1930 before becoming the ABC during the 1960s and again in the last two years before its closure in 1999. The whole complex which also fronts out onto East Street has been preserved and converted into bars, restaurants and a casino. The small lane to the left is Brills Lane which preserves the memory of Brills Baths which occupied the site from 1823 to 1929 before its demolition and replacement by the current building.
