No.


Last that was posted on here was that it might become a cinema, but then all went quiet.

You are cynical. Did you think the cinema would open in a month?


If its going to happen, it will take time like all things do. The discussions around it becoming a cinema weren't idle gossip. It was discussed during a church meeting and with the local councillor. Apparently 3 different cinema groups have approached the church.

An offer for this hall to be made a cinema has been made by two cinema chains and talknig to Father Gerry one of the offers (not sure if I can say whihc one) is being taken to the diocese for a decision.


I am very excited by the propect of a local cinema.

Are you?

Well, as the church are the present owners of the hall, I guess yes, it is pretty significant, since they will be the ones potentially selling the hall to the cinema chain ......

As I hear news I'll post in on the forum.

I'm hopeful the diocese will make a decision before Xmas. Planning application in the new ear and building works start around Easter. But I am optimistic by nature!


When the planning application occurs we'll seriously promote it to ensure maximium feedback and the very timeliness of decision.

Beyond excited. We thought about doing a business plan to open a cinema one day in ED. (I used to run proper student cinema back in the day.) Guess one of these chains will save us the trouble! Hope they won't try and compete with the multiplexes and have a varied programme on offer. Look forward very much to the updates.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
