DescriptionNumber 18, Church Street is probably an early nineteenth century rebuild of a c1700 house. It has a cement rendered and painted front with a steeply pitched slate roof with gable parapets and elaborate curved kneelers and masonry eaves. It has a late Georgian style three-storey, three-window front with replacement ground floor. This has a modern plate glass front with left-hand entrance to the shop on the left and to a recessed opening to the former theatre/cinema built behind on the right. Above are plain sash windows with 6 over 6 panes to the first floor and plastic 3 x 3 windows above with painted sills.The rear elevation shows a large red brick over steel frame theatre with a Welsh slate roof. It has various openings including scenery doors onto Bell Lane.
It is included in a higher grade for its exceptional interest as a rare and little altered example of a small cinema (600 seats) from the inter-War period in Wales, and as part of the continuous run of historic buildings in Church Street.
