Well marked out paths along public walkways. Quiet little walk 😊

THIS UNUSUAL AND HISTORIC CINEMA was once an early 19th century farmhouse, before being converted into a recreation and entertainment center serving the nearby Victoria Hotel. After the hotel was destroyed by fire, the building was converted into the 68th cinema in Britain, opening in 1922. It was originally dubbed the “Pavilion Cinema.” However, upon completion headroom inside didn’t allow for a normal projection system, so a back-projection system was installed. The cinema’s first showing was a film by Charlie Chaplin, after a reel featuring, The Lion Eaters failed to arrive in time for the premiere. The cinema now includes two screens, with the back projection system still operating on screen one, the original auditorium. The Kinema in the Woods is believed to be the only cinema in the United Kingdom to still utilize a back-projection system. Until 1953, the original auditorium had traditional tip-up seats, except for the first six rows.

Just a cool sculpture

Some of the thoughtful sculptures on the pathway

This trail follows the original path of the railway that linked the historic market town of Horncastle on the edge of the Wolds and Victorian resort of Woodhall Spa to the main line at Kirkstead. The line opened in 1855 with passenger trains stopping in 1952, with the line finally closing in 1971. Today the line is now a traffic free Spa Trail. Along the trail you will find interesting sculptures accompanied with stories about the line and its history.

An unusual and historic cinema, believed to be the only one in the UK with a back-projection system still operating. More details at: atlasobscura.com/places/kinema-in-the-woods
