I would like to voice my support for John McCarthy's letter concerning The Picture Palace of New Malden which is due for redevelopment.

New Malden used to boast three cinemas, one at Shannon Corner, one on the site which is now McDonalds, and the Picture Palace.

The previous two have long gone, and I was unaware until recently that the interior of the Picture Palace was still there, within the New Malden Club.

It would be nice to be able to see it, and it would do the developers, Hemingford Ltd, no harm at all in allowing some time for a viewing.

I am sure the Local History Room has no interior photographs.

This should certainly be rectified before demolition, if demolition there has to be.
