Abstract: |
A Level II Historic Building Record was undertaken of the former Ritz Cinema, High Street West, Wallsend prior to its redevelopment. The recording concluded that Of the thirteen cinemas designed by Percy L Brown in the North East, The Ritz at Wallsend is one of only five that remain, making it a significant survival for the region. The exterior of the building has changed little since its construction in 1939. Therefore, the facade facing onto High Street West is considered to be a significant element of the building. Despite at least two phases of refurbishment, a large number of original Art Deco architectural details and some cinematographic features survive within the building. |
