The Managers' Office

   

The managers' office in 1943. The incumbent at that time was Mrs Long. Her chair seems to have been "borrowed" from the cafe!

The office was situated off the foyer to the left of  the stalls entrance  In later years this was to be the location of projection box 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the cinema was twinned, the office was located in a space created by blocking off a set of entrance doors on the left of the foyer.

This shot was taken some years later, in the autumn of 1988, during the 50th anniversary celebrations. The "special edition" of the Epsom & Ewell Herald has arrived and Ann, the manageress, takes a break to read it though.

Note the cat sleeping in the in-tray, and the dough-nut and tea waiting to be devoured by the photographer (yours truly) .......and not a computer in sight!
