In this view it can be seen how far back the former cinema extended from its frontage to Jennings Street. This would have accommodated the screen, the seating for up to 750 patrons and the projection equipment. The building would greatly benefit from a repaint and it is perhaps surprising that it doesn't seem to be a listed building. It is a piece of the town's history and the front is a rather unusual design. Image Image
