With funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund we have teamed up with Kingston Heritage Service on a new project to explore the rich history of the Royal Borough's cinemas.
Working with volunteers who have been trained in oral history, interviewing techniques and sound recording, 15 interviews with projectionists, usherettes, house managers, cinema-goers and local historians have been filmed.
These have been used to create a film to make the project easily accessible to all, while the full interviews and photographic and other material collected will be deposited with the Kingston Heritage Service. The film and interviews will also be housed on the project website for everyone to access.
We are grateful to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for financially supporting this project.
