A life in pictures: Britain's oldest cinema hits 100
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Almost as old as cinema itself, the Duke of York's Picturehouse in Brighton celebrates its centenary this year.
First opened in September 1910, it was built on the site of the Amber Ales Brewery, whose exterior wall still forms the rear of the auditorium.
Now an arts picture house, it was one of the first cinemas in the world, and the oldest continuously operating purpose-built cinema in Britain. The Grade II-listed building is home to the Brighton Film Festival and, wherever possible, does things the old-fashioned way.
