Title: Cineworld Cinema, Slough High Street. March 2006 [Go to resource]
Description: Lawrence Armstrong has written : On 6 November 1987 a ten screen multiplex called the Maybox opened in Slough High Street. The project cost £3½ million pounds and Michael Caine performed the opening ceremony. In a newspaper article one of the company's executives was quoted as saying "We want to create cinemas of the 1980's instead of the 1930's". By 1987 the only cinema left in Slough was the Granada and this comment was to become significant within a very short space of time. The Maybox has had a series of other names including the Gallery, Cannon, MGM, Virgin, UGC, and now Cineworld.
