1925 Locomobile arrives
A 1925 Locomobile (one of only 25 built)
This 1925 Locomobile (one of only 25 built) was loaned by a member of the Southwold Film Society to provide a period ambience to the opening ceremony and to be a platform for the speakers. The local community, fired by John Bennett's enthusiasm, have taken this project to their hearts and have raised over £100,000 to buy the property and convert it to the cinema we see today. Additionally many people have given their time and skills to work on the project.
