The Scala dates from 1913 when it was constructed as Ilkeston's first purpose built cinema with a seating capacity of 1000. The 1930s saw the installation of an electrical sound system which was updated in the 1940s. "Gone With The Wind" was screened here in 1948. Other claims to fame include appearances in the TV series "Boon" starring Michael Elphick and being used in another series both in the plots and the opening credits of "Shine On Harvey Moon". The car park in Pimlico to the left of the Scala was once occupied by a row of cottages but these were demolished in 1974. Members of my wife's family, her grandfather and a great-uncle who later became manager of the cinema, played in the orchestra when silent movies were being shown.
