The Gaiety Cinema in City Road
The Gaiety Cinema in City Road
The Gaiety Grand Cinema opened in 1912, originally with a seating capacity of 800. The most notable feature of the facade is a pair of small domes on either side of the entrance.
It was re-modelled and enlarged in 1934 by architect William S. Wort and the seating capacity increased to 1,518. In the 60's it became bowling alley and then a bingo hall, now it stands shabby and forlorn awaiting a new buyer.
