An extra screen and a café were added as part of the overhaul, before it eventually reopened in May 2021. 

The original Art Deco box office was first installed in 1936 and has a white upper fascia with all the original parts to create a working box office. 

There is an estimate price on the lot of between £80 and £120.

The blue top and windows, which were used to drinks and sweets, have also been retained.

Five film 35mm reels are also available to purchase in the auction after they were removed prior to the redevelopment.

The lot will go under the hammer on Thursday April 20 as part of the Dr Atomicas Journey into Cool auction.
