It's been many years since the last performance at the Plaza cinema at Ironbridge. Here it is, in 1954 we think. It was at Dale End, which some would call Coalbrookdale, rather than Ironbridge. According to one website it was still open in 1966, but closed soon after. The picture is from the collection of the late Fred Brown of Wellington, who was a projectionist at local cinemas. The photo was loaned by his daughter Mrs Lynne Purcell.
