The current Town Hall which is used as a theatre opened in 1969. It was bombed during the troubles in 1972 though, which caused a great deal of damage. This must have been a replacement for an earlier Town Hall as mentioned in the above text.
Still derelict and gradually falling apart. The projectors, seating, and screen etc are still in situ. There’s an interesting video on YouTube that’s been posted you may be interested in watching.
The business is called Waterloo Joinery. They make bespoke pieces, such as stairs, sash windows, gates etc. 2 very talented guys from what I can see on their Facebook profile. There’s an up-to-date picture of the workshops also, inside and outside.
Theatre 2, seating 100 is used for film presentation twice a month, on every 2nd Wednesday. The original Hall is a permanent theatre, seating 500 now. A large investment over the past decade has resulted in a first class regional arts centre.
The hall is located at 2 Racecourse Road. It has been converted into retail, with amongst others, Mundy’s Second Furniture stores, whose address is The Old Hibernian Hall.
The Working Men’s Club in this has been closed. However, the good news is that it has been tidied up inside and out, and is now known as ReSpace Peterborough, a community based project which sees the building now a community centre at the heart of New England in the city.
Having checked with the Falmouth Poly Archivists, this is NOT the former Kosey, sorry. It’s another general purpose hall, the Kosey was up an alley from near the harbour with the main building out of sight from the main road.
The bingo operation closed sometime ago, and planning permission to demolish them eyesore building’ as the local newspaper describes it has been approved. The building’s future looks bleak.
Far from being demolished, the building used as the cinema still stands, now known as Anderson’s Court, however, the front building has been demolished.
It was still operating in 1996, as Spy Hard released that year is being advertised in one of the photographs that I’ve uploaded today.
This building has been demolished. Adelphi House apartments now replace the former cinema. At least the name lives on….
The road is named Wild Atlantic Way.
