29 West Church Street

This

was owned by the Highland Cinema Co. Ltd, which appears to have been a

subsiduary of CAC, and by 1950 was under the CAC control. The

Highland Cinema Co also controlled several other cinemas - it would

appear that for tax reasons, CAC kept some 'local groups of companies'

separate from the main CAC group. In 1979 CAC had plans drawn up to

split the Playhouse into two with a cinema in the upper half and bingo

down below. No alterations ever took place.

rear here.

Now on bingo.
