Sad but inevitable

This place was special to Norfolk kids, always felt far more modern than the ABC on Prince of Wales Road.
Saw so many films there as a kid and young adult.
Thankfully they’ve saved the rare Italian Projector.
Last went in here around Christmas in 2017 to take the eldest to watch Paddington 2, it was falling apart. The tiles and the urinals had actually been painted over to make it look better 😱
