In 1950 the Paramount Theatre opened its doors to the public. This theatre had a beautiful almost regal like interior. It remained in business until 2003. In 2006 the City Centre Church moved in and remained here for a few years. It is currently vacant
I hope this gets a new use soon. I just love proper vintage cinemas like the ones I visited as a child. The plush red seating, the little stage at the front where the organist used to play, the red velvet curtains. A bygone era but a lovely one.
