WESTERN ROAD – HOVE’S LAST CINEMA

The Embassy Cinema, photographed on 5 April 1981, just before it ceased showing films and went over entirely to Bingo. Opened in 1901 as the Hove Cinema Theatre, it became known as the Tivoli Cinema in 1920 and was renamed Embassy in more recent days. Hove’s other four cinemas – in order of their opening – Empire Picture Theatre, Haddington Street – Electric Empire Picture Palace, George Street – Lido Cinema, Denmark Villas – and Granada Cinema, Portland Road, had all gone before the Embassy finally closed.
