The Paramount

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

A nice shot, pity it is vacant.

Such places when they are empty look terrible. They are created for the crowds. I think their time has passed.

The history is so interesting. Such a shame that these buildings are not really reinvented through time. So many remain vacant. Thanks for sharing :)

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.

[Jane Anderson]

It will be interesting to see what happens to it in the future!

Pity it has been left vacant. There was a theatre with the samr namr in Malta. Don't know if it still exists.

[Lou Ann]

Every large city has old, empty theaters! If yours has a beautiful interior, maybe it could be used for concerts and plays.

[Henri Russell]

Such a relic from the past. Hopefully someone will repurpose it, especially with its regal interior.

[Chris H]

Sad its not in use .

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very nice shot and interesting information. It is sad to see empty buildings not in use.

[Margaret Brown]

A nice old building, my age!!

[Ivan]

It's rather grand.

[Pat Knowles]

Seems a pity it's empty, perhaps you have a brand new cinema somewhere else, l hope you do anyway!

[gloria jones]

Great capture and back story

[Jean]

I bet it will be torn down and a building like the one next to it put up.

[Daisy Miller]

Great shot that shows the contrast between the old and the new.

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of the nice buildings,

[Wendy]

A great capture of history -

[william wooderson]
