Administrative / Biographical history

Empire Theatre was fortunate enough to stay open for the majority of the war and did not face any significant damage during any air raids. In the build up to D Day, soldiers were brought into the theatre and given a screening of the plans for the day. This is a diary entry from Dennis Saint who worked as a film projectionist at the theatre throughout the war.
