A group of former employees of the cinema also failed to raise enough money to make a bid.

Signature later pulled its bid after it failed to obtain an alcohol license for the building.

Administrators are believed to be in talks with another pub operator over the sale of the building.

If you want@filmhousesaved now is the moment to tell the Council & Government, & the administrator.

Its a crime to let this be anything other than a centre for cinematic culture.

The Filmhouse property is currently listed as Under Offer on the website of estate agent Savills.

An announcement on the eventual buyer is expected soon.

Lets make it so.
