I say a mystery but there will be someone who can offer up the explanation, because in the course of researching the story of cinemas, I cam across an entry for the market town of Wirsworth, population, 3,000.
There listed in its own right, along with all the big cities and towns for 1928 was a record of Wirksworh’s picture house.
The listing says the Town Hall, so was it in the Town Hall, beside it, of just a temporary affair?
Answers please, to the blog.
In the meantime it just points to that simple observation that back in 1928, pretty much everyone had a cinema.
Location; Wirksworth
Pictures; entry from the Kinematograph Year Book, 1928, and the Town Hall, 2019, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
