Tatler Cinema

Located in Coleshill, Warwickshire. The Kinema was opened around 1914, with seating for 300.

Around 1938 alterations were made and the seating capacity was increased to 408. It re-opened as the Cameo Cinema and was equipped with a Gyrotone sound system. The proscenium was 30 feet wide. Apparently a projectionist at the cinema disappeared soon after the outbreak of World War II and it was found out later that he was a Nazi sympathizer. The Cameo Cinema was re-named Tatler Cinema by 1954 and was operated by the Coventry based Orr Circuit. It was closed in the early-1960’s. It became a electrical showroom for many years.

Today it serves as the Cameo Suite, a banquet hall/conference centre for the adjacent Coleshill Hotel.
