The Royalty Theatre,June 13

[skankypants]

The Royalty Cinema was taken over by the Associated British Cinemas(ABC) chain in March 1935. ABC closed the cinema on 2nd November 1963 with Cliff Robertson in "P.T.109". It was converted into a Mecca Bingo Club, and in 2010 it is operating as a Gala Bingo Club.
In the summer of 2011, the Royalty Cinema was designated a Grade II Listed building by English Heritage.

Those lovely stained glass windows contrast with the gaudy chav-like colours when it became a Bingo Hall eh? I bet somewhere in there the pipes of an old cinema organ still reside, or maybe the sound chambers and wind chests.
