It wasa community hall way back from the high street so one entered by a long tiled corridor, about 30-50 yards long before reaching the box office from which oen went forward 1 fe yeards to the stalls and back a few yards to the balcony. It changed programmes twice weekly but its films were the subject of the independent distribution network and were very old. As a small boy I attended during the war and remeber seeking many films that I now know had been new in the 1930s. It seated about 700 -900 and was very popular during the war. It was sold about 1946 but contiunued as a cinema, interspersed with some stage shows. The cinema at Watlington was opened in the late 1930s by local businessmen George and Ernest Worley.
