This was the replacements of both the Plaza 1 & 2 in Norton and the Coeburn Cinemas 1-2-3 in Coeburn which closed at the same time as the Cinema City’s opening. Both theaters will have their own CT pages soon.

Once minorly damaged by a fire in October 1935. What’s strange about it is that the fire originated from a small pile of papers.
