Description: | This image was taken from the opposite end of the room to image sl-sl-jbd0001_meetingroom-i-00-000.tif showing that the original decoration has been retained and restored with moulded plasterwork to the walls and ceiling including the dado and frieze to the walls. Pilasters to the walls have floral decoration.
The ceiling has a decorative frieze around the perimeter echoing the more traditional cornice which is absent. Also there is a reference to a central ceiling rose with another plaster frieze and suspended lighting. The ceiling also has decorative grilles to the ventilation openings.
The windows have arched heads and low-level sills protected by a decorative guard-rail. The emergency exit is formed as a projecting lobby into the room with a moulded surround including a concave frieze with ribbon and bar decoration.
The Adelphi Cinema opened on 17 February 1930 and closed on 21 January 1973. In May 1974 the owners, the Granada Company, converted the cinema into a bingo hall. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Bingo Halls ; Cinemas Adelphi Cinema ; Gala Bingo Hall | Temporal: | start=2000-01-01; end=2007-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Jacky Burns | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
