| The
Cornerhouse Cinema 1 Building When I passed the Cornerhouse Cinema 1 in November of 2015, it was displaying this announcement.  After 30 years the Cornerhouse Arts
Centre had moved to its new building on First Street
called Home.
 ****************************  Originally this was the
Tatler Cinema. The Cinema Treasures web site says of it:
"the Tatler News Theatre, designed by Peter
Cummings, opened in May 1935. Sited next to Oxford
Road Railway Station the Tatler was in an ideal site
for its drop-in program of cartoons and news reels,
and this lasted until September 1959. ....
 .... After lying closed for a while, it was reopened in November 1961 as the Tatler Classic with a program of art house and foreign language films which was successful until in 1969 it moved to a more erotic fare as the Tatler Cinema Club showing uncensored films to club members. These kept the projectors rolling until closure came again in August 1981."  The theatre occupied the space under the railway viaduct that carries trains in and out of Oxford Road Station.  Below are images of it when it was part of the Cornerhouse Arts Centre.  Inside there is evidence of the
railway viaduct. The pillars that hold up the
steel girders are visible within the wall.
