The Aldeburgh Cinema has a fascinating history, and it has
been screening films continuously since 1919 when the auditorium was
built onto the back of a 19th century High Street store. For many years the cinema was privately run until in the
mid-1960s, when there was the threat of closure. A group of local people, led
by Lettie Gifford and
including composer Benjamin Britten and his partner Peter Pears, banded
together to purchase the cinema and run it on behalf of the local
community. More information and images here.
