A beloved cinema which first opened in 1931 is reopening to the public after being restored to its former glory.
The Gaumont operated as a cinema from the 30s until November 1960 and now, 91 years after first opening, it will reopen to welcome film lovers once more. Opened and managed by Charlie Brown from 1931 until 1935, the former manager's grandson Andy Brown will be at the official relaunch next month.
On December 3, Liverpool Lighthouse - based in a refurbished former Gaumont cinema in north Liverpool - will open to the public. Liverpool Lighthouse is a registered charity working with the local community, with the aim of creating thriving communities of people living more fulfilled lives.
