Abstract:
These notes are complementary to the short study of the cinema carried out by Pat Hughes (Hughes 2008). St John's Cinema was constructed in 1914 by two brothers, Alfred and Harry Godsall. It was constructed on the site of The King's Head pub, which was a hall and cross-wing building on the St John's street frontage opposite the St John's Green (now Bransford Road) junction with Malvern Road. St John's Cinema was reportedly tfirst purpose-built cinema to be constructed in Worcester (Hughes 2008). he The building was quite richly decorated on its street frontage. It had a bow window above the entrance, a semi circular window above that and plaster swags above oval windows that flanked the bow. Above the semi-circular window was a decorative gable and a dentiled eaves cornice surmounted the top of the building. From this frontage the roof of the building sloped gradually back to the rear of the property where the cinema screen was located. Figure 1 shows the frontage in 1920 when it was showing 'The Capitol' with Leah Baird.
