Cinema Project

  • Welcome to the special Ritz ABC Cinema Project. The aim of this part of the main blog is to document the demise, demolition and construction of the former Ritz ABC Cinema in the centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells. You may notice that unlike the main blog, certain elements have faded to black and white. This is entirely on purpose as to not take any focus away from the photographs.
    By the way, all the photographs look much better in their large size, all you have to do is click on them and enjoy.
    I'd love to know what you think of these images so please leave me a comment on any of them by clicking "Comments" below each image.
    **DISCLAIMER**
    Please note that no entry to the building has taken place, all interior shots you see have been taken from outside on the public footpath. Click here to follow me on Twitter
