Two more photos from 2007 here. I was allowed around the former cinema and the upstairs screen is indeed intact and contains much original plasterwork. Sadly I was not allowed to take pictures!

Three exterior pictures taken in March 2009 here – a peek inside the gym revealed that much of the original design has been restored and is on display.
