End of an Era 7

Demolition of the Ritz cinema
Gosport, Hampshire, England
C. 2001
Camera: unknown
Film: Techpan

Shot during the demolition of the Ritz cinema in Gosport. At the time it closed it had the largest operating cinema screen on the South coast. It also had a leaky roof and the management of the time could not compete with the multi-screen just across the harbour and so the last of Gosport's three cinemas closed and was eventually replaced with an Iceland supermarket.
