Sleaford - old cinema
Image: © Dave Bevis Taken: 10 Apr 2012
The Sleaford Picturedrome opened in 1920 and proved popular, with it acquiring sound in 1931, an improved screen in 1955 and an additional screen in 1980; however, during the 1980s, there was a downturn in the number of patrons and the building's fabric deteriorated, with the old screen closing in 1984. In 2000, the cinema closed and became a snooker hall and then a nightclub; however, due to poor demand, it was closed in 2008. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleaford for more details.
