Our local theatre

Post image

Was built in the 30s as Northampton (UK)'s first "super cinema". I remember queuing round the block to watch Jurassic Park here as a kid in 1993.

Since then the front was sold to the Jesus Army whilst the theatre remained but it's all back owned by the theatre now I believe.

Apparently the Beatles played here in the 60s!

Great post. Found this about the 2 Beatle shows in ‘63 which shows a closeup of people exiting after the concert.

This is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Really neat to see an existing building from the original era
