Cinemas, beautiful forgotten cinemas...

 

I am currently working on a project about Islington's forgotten cinemas and its early cinematic history. These photographs are of the Carlton cinema on Essex Road. The Carlton originally opened in 1930 and operated as a cinema until 1972, then becoming a bingo hall for a number of years. It is now completely closed up awaits another life. 

The Carlton in 1963, when it was known as the ABC.
