Hello rsegarden,

Whoops, the link takes you to Chippenham photos, but if you click on "Historic Westbury", then on number 36, you'll find a picture of the Vista.

Hi Gadget - now why couldn't I do that?

Eddie, here's a link to the Wiltshire Treasures site - and a photo of the inside of the cinema - hope this one works!!
