55-56 High Street


At 55-56 High Street is currently a shop called Jack Wills that sells 'authentic and relevant clothing for today'! The building itself was built in 1913 and was originally a cinema and tea house. The cinema had an orchestra pit as talking films had not yet been invented at that time! The cinema operated between 1914-1936.

    Far better as a Jack Wills (although they are horribly pricy) than as a Superdrug, which is what it used to be, I think!

    I am always a little sad to see a former cinema now closed. Have to agree with Janerowena much better than a Superdrug.

    Superdrug has moved further down the High Street. Janerowena you're right it is pricey!
