Building of the Month February 2025: The State Cinema, George Street, Grays, Essex

Once regarded as one of the best preserved examples of 1930s "super cinemas", the grade II* listed State Cinema has been empty for years. Shockingly, since 2022 it has had a hole in the auditorium roof leading to serious damage to the interior.  Some essential works appear now to be starting but a confirmed plan is needed to ensure its comprehensive rescue.
