William E PILLEY Manager, Chantrey Picture House Ltd. Chesterfield Road Kelly's 1925

Here is a small pic of the Chantrey after Gleesons took it over. I don't know when that was but I worked in that building as part of my building course industrial training circa 1970. On-site I was lucky enough to work a few weeks on the building of the Crucible Theatre.
