Kings

1719

Built in 1923 as cinema and theatre, but live use seems to have been limited. The façade was of three bays, each of two storeys with the centre bay significantly larger than those which flank it. The centre bay had a shaped gable. The interior had been all but destroyed by 1994. The circle remained but the stage area was declared unsafe in c.1987 and demolished. It is not known whether any of the building now survives.
