EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of Scala Cinema in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, one of the earliest purpose-built cinemas in the country still in operation. Dating back to the Edwardian era, the brick building with its distinctive canopy and frontis piece has stood the test of time, serving as a beloved cultural and recreational hub for generations. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where the magic of the silver screen first captivated audiences. The intricate brickwork and elegant design of the cinema's facade are a testament to the craftsmanship of the past. The canopy, with its ornate detailing, provides a sense of grandeur and anticipation, inviting patrons to step inside and escape the world outside. The frontis piece, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate moldings, adds a sense of sophistication and charm to the cinema. The large, arched windows allow natural light to filter in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Scala Cinema in Ilkeston is not just a building, but a piece of history that continues to inspire and delight. It is a reminder of the power of cinema to transport us to new worlds, to bring communities together, and to provide a much-needed respite from the daily grind. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Peter Holt FRPS BPE2*, captures the essence of the Scala Cinema and the unique role it plays in the cultural landscape of Derbyshire. It is a testament to the enduring power of cinema and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy.
