I’ve looked at the picture of the pavilion Cinema posted by Lost Memory with some interest. Although I never visited this hall, I spent some considerable time out side of it,trapped in buses that were passing through the A48 Cowbridge traffic bottleneck.
The hall was certainly closed by 1955 and had a considerable air of dereliction at that time. The one thing that I can recall was that the hall was entirely painted a dark shade of blue, which when covered with dust, made it very noticeable.The word “Pavilion” in large white letters was fixed to the front of the canopy ironwork.

This very unusual cinema was one of the few 16mm static cinemas in Wales. Most 16mm cinemas were portable fit ups that moved from village to village giving presentations in village halls and miner’s institutes.
