Friends of the Scala Site Visit Oct 2007 (10)

This picture looking in at the front of the building off the high street into the right hand side of the terrace ground floor. Just to the right of where the builders have sprayed no entry you can see a doorway that has been bricked up, this was and original doorway from the old shop to the right of the cinema foyer through to the back room and fire exit alleyways.

The breeze blocks just in the left of the picture as explained before was the right hand entry into the auditorium corridor.

The new Buidling is incorparating the whole of the terrace area at the front, opening the space and making the new buildings entrance area bigger and better.

The ground level of the new building will be very contempary being mostly glass letting alot of light into the area, and the first floor level with its drop windows arched as in the original 1901 building with false balconies overlooking the high street from the Cafe/bar.
