Swansea cinema
« on: Tuesday 06 September 11 13:07 BST (UK) »
I believe that there was a small cinema situated next to St Andrew's Church in St Helen's Road, Swansea - if some kind poster can confirm this for me it would help in a family history query.  Many thanks in anticipation... :)

Many thanks indeed for all your responses :)   The Grand Theatre website came up trumps with the Shaftesbury Hall - one or two mysteries have been solved as a result of your help!
