  • it was only tescos that was wilko's is.was in the cinema 2weeks ago it's such a shame to see it in the state it is now.shame it's going soon why they are tearing down these great buildings is beyond me fools!!!

  • Its getting replaced by apartments, id rekon they wont be fully occupied for quite a while.

    Peoples appetite for buying apartments is drying up as theres too many developments uncertainty in the housing market. The owners missed the boat on this one id rekon.

  • I can just about remember tesco occupying the wilko site, further in the past and virtually opposite the cinema used to be asda queens as well.

  • nice, why the hell is a hillards poster in there, hillards was a very small supermarket chain that used to be where wilkinsons now stands and thay had 1 where mad harrys used to be,

  • i dunno about the poster, mutve been put there to advertise it in the 70's/80's

see all

  • Thums up if you broke in

  • Such a shame, I love these old 'Art Deco' style buildings.....Cinemas now are just like sitting in a grey shoebox being blasted with sound?? There won't be any decent buildings around soon just modern boxes.

    ...and why do the Brain Dead feel the need to go into these places and destroy everything?? ....not a very constructive generation ! Sorry Rant over :)

    Lovely film but sad.

  • If I were you, I'd have taken that Con-Air standee!

    How did you get in there?

  • We had three cinemas in Banbury at one time, one of them chicargo rock is now routed in. tthere is only one left, went to see benjamin button a few weeks ago, i dont like it in there really, its always going out of focus at the beginning. So soddenget up and go in the cinema in the cinema i tell you, its disgrace in my view

  • You do like this cinema Ernie, another well put together historical record.

  • fond fond memories on this all. my brother used to work at what was tescos then, i remember going to hillards round the corner near the post office too.!

    they should list this building, or at best restor it to it's former glory.. they've killed the baths at sun lane.! what more do they want.!

  • Why does the fate of this building have to be a fait accompli. Surely there are alternative uses for a cinema. Wakefield people and the council should try to get it listed. Companies like Odeon are just asset stripping and I would never go near a multiplex. It's a real cinema or nothing for me.

  • we can go on for ever, as i remember it was hillards before tesco, they had a hillards where mad harrys used to stand aswell. then tesco took over
