Nothing doing at the Plaza
The Plaza Cinema in Port Talbot was built during 1939 and first opened at Easter 1940 seating 1447. It closed as a cinema in 1983 with a showing of Tootsie and was converted to a Bingo Hall. The Plaza reopened as a Cinema on the 18th October 1985 with a showing of Peter Pan during the following few years the cinema was converted from a single screen to a four screens with the stalls converted into three screens seating 450, 165 and 120 people and a fourth screen in the circle seating 280. The cinema was finaly closed in 1999, following the opening of the Apollo multiplex cinema just down the road. The final film to be screened at the Plaza was Disney's Prince of Egypt. The cinema has stood empty since then it is protected with a grade II listing which has made redevelopent very difficult, I beleve its currently owned by the local council.
