The  Broadway Cinema    was still operatingin in the early fifties, I  spent many hours in there after the  war years.  The building after Claydons the green grocers was as you say the toilets , then comes the  cinema,  there are two entries,  between the two doorways  you can see the glass case on the wall that advertised  comming events  inside  each doorway was a large carpeted foyer with stairs ,the ticket office was positioned at the top of the stairs, another foyer ran lengh ways back from the market place to the building that borders Churchfield lane which is on the extreme right ,this was the actual cinema  the two windows onthe far right of the photo were where the projectors were,  the cinema screen was at Claydons end  a fire exit door was on Chuchfield road, Next to the cinemas right entry is a ramp that runs up behind  the billboard  to a porch which is to the right of telephone pole.this was the entry into the hall  which  Iwould go for tap and ballet classes, it  also served as the working mens club
