Colour Challenge
The magic of colour
We asked Alan Ashton, who loves cinema organs, to have a go at adding colour to this only known photograph of the former Christie pipe organ that was once installed at the Empire Cinema in Neath. Seated at the organ is Bryn Symmons, grandfather of Ian Griffin. You can see the results (before and after) on our GO COMPARE page. GO COMPARE
More about the Empire Cinema Neath can be found via the link below. You can can read about Bryn Symmons showing the first film with sound and having a medal from Winston Churchill after the Swansea blitz in 1942.
Also on this website are two full length films for you to spend a vertual evening at the cinema. The only known website in the world where you can do this.
