After it was a cinema, I remember it being used for some rock concerts. I remember seeing an advertisement outside for the American group, Three Dog Night (Mama told me not to come) appearing there. Probably around 1970, 1971.
I also remember going there to see the film The Tommy Steel Story, and Tommy's film The Duke Who Wore Jeans in about 1958.I was a big fan of Tommy then, even though I was only at junior school.
Wasn't it also turned into a Muslim mosque or Sikh temple during the late 1970s.
