A slice of history
The Novello Picture House has been a staple of Sunninghill High Street for over a century. Find out more about the fascinating history of the building, including a previous successful campaign to save it from closure.
“The overwhelming response to the Public Petition, together with all those in the area not eligible to sign, shows how strong feelings are to avoid letting the Novello Theatre disappear from the High Street”
