A man who vowed to squat in an old cinema for ‘as long as it takes’ ended his protest after just a few hours.So much so, that he made plans to set up shop in the crumbling building.He also popped out for a cake during the sit-in protest.The 61-year-old’There’s no point in me going in there and sitting in a building that ain’t going down yet,” explained Nick, whose grandfather helped build the cinema.
‘When it really counts is when the bulldozers go in, because that will be costing them God knows how much.‘I’ve put the awareness out there that I’ve been in there and I will be back. I got the security sussed, I’ll be in there no problem.’ Nick was told in a recent planning committee meeting that the Broadway Cinema cannot be saved from demolition.Demolition at the site is due to begin in February.The Broadway Cinema is located in the Filwood Park-Knowle West district to the south of Bristol City Centre.
It was opened in 1938 by Roy Chamberlain and had a 30 feet wide screen and equipped with a British Talking Pictures sound system. The property went through various refurbishments in the coming years – and it’s time as a cinema ended in 1971.
