For those who dream
And those who read
Yes, this imposing branch of Waterstone's is in fact the Grade II listed former Carlton Cinema, originally opened in 1914, and closed as a cinema in 1977. I moved to South Wales in 1986, and it would be several years after that that the building would reopen as a branc of Waterstones. The original ornate spiral staircase has been preserved, but everything else of the cinema interior has long gone, sadly.
