Memorial Square, Coalville.

Marlborough Square (the square of many cinemas), Coalville Showing the Marlborough Square Methodist Church and a bingo hall, converted from what was previously the Regal Cinema (1933). A second former-cinema (REX Cinema, 1938) is located along the road to the right, meeting with the other cinema in an L-shape. A third former cinema, the Coalville Electric Theatre (1910), still exists in another use at the opposite end of the square. Rather a lot of cinemas for such a small town! Only the Century Theatre remains operational today.

Structures resembling Nissen Huts, Snibston Colliery, Coalville Two former Military huts, presumably in use until recently as maintenance huts for the Snibston Colliery. The left hut in particular resembles a typical (albeit modified) Nissen Hut, featuring the characteristic dormer windows. The right hut appears to be a completely different specification.
Taken from the former railway for the Snibston Discovery Park, recently demolished and converted into a footpath.
