Among some recent booklets donated to us was a Programme for the Rugby and District Hospital Tennis Club.

This took place on the 8th and 10th July, but the year was not given. Looking through the pages it appears to be 1939, so this gives us a glimpce of Rugby just before the start of the Second World War. Read it here

One advert that caught our eye was on page 6 and announced the imminent opening of a new cinema “The Savoy”.

 

We assume that this development was cancelled by the start of the war, but where was it?
The advert says Hillmorton Road, but we cannot work out where this was.

If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.
