More about this scene
The Pavilion cinema on the right was originally built in 1863 as the Corn Exchange. During the 1890s, it was used as a museum; later, in 1915, it was converted into a cinema. In 1929, a fire reduced it to a smouldering ruin. The interior was rebuilt, and the exterior, apart from the towered and domed lantern which was lost, was renovated. The Pavilion closed in 1968, and the building was demolished in 1978. Around the same time, the bracketed clock disappeared; it had been erected by a public subscription of £64 to commemorate Queen Victoria`s Jubilee in 1887. On the opposite corner is Freeman, Hardy & Willis`s shoe shop (now the Edinburgh Wool Shop), and further down is the International Tea Company.
