Surrey County Cinema

Categories: Cinema, Property

Originally called the Surrey County Theatre, it was renamed as a cinema in 1929, and in 1947, it became the 'Gaumont'. The auditorium has since been demolished, but the entrance and foyer were retained, and are now part of the Times 2 Shopping Centre.
