Tutanic 8 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 As you probably know, we have a Scala Cinema in down town Ilkeston. It boasts the old style double seats. Some time ago it was rumoured that it was to close and the people of Ilkeston decided to fight for it and it is still open. How does one go about getting a Lottery grant to restore these things? Is it the Arts Council that is approached? The Scala Ilkeston is probably one of the oldest cinemas in the country and it would be a shame to see it close for the sake of a few injections of cash. It appears that the balcony is not used anymore for fear of it falling down. I wonder if it is too late to help? A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tutanic 8 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I found a picture of the Scala Ilkeston on Picture the Past, it looks great and really too good to pull down. A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
