Preserving the past, sharing the stories ~ Okehampton’s memories brought to life

The Old Carlton Cinema

Located at the corner of St James Street and Park Row on Okehampton, Devon. The Carlton Cinema opened in 1936, with a seating capacity of 600. All seating was on a single floor, but there were two boxes located at the rear of the auditorium.

It had an Art Deco style façade and foyer, but the auditorium was rather plain. The proscenium was 35 feet wide. It was independently operated throughout its cinematic life, and closed in 2003 due to illness of the owner. The seating capacity at closing was for 380.

The building was sold for re-development and was demolished in January 2007, for 15 flats to be built on the site which are named Sparrow’s Row.
