The Norfolk Drive-In opened its gates on August 23, 1949 with Glenn Ford in “The Return Of October” along with the Color Rhapsody “Swing, Monkey, Swing” and the Disney cartoon “Figaro And Frankie”. It was later operated by Central State Theatres, and features original installations of Simplex projection and Royal Soundmaster sound and speakers.

A 1981 aerial still shows the drive-in intact. A 1993 aerial appears to show the drive-in has been closed for a while. By 1999, the sports fields have been created over the site.

Today, you can still see the faint parch marks of the ramps and outline of the drive-in.
