After 30 years of showing all the latest film releases, Vue in Cambridge closed in June. The cinema added its name to the list of Grafton Centre companies that have closed amid plans to turn the site into a life sciences hub .

This fate also meant Vue joined a fairly long queue of the city's lost cinemas . At one point in time, between 1938 and 1956, there were at least nine cinemas in Cambridge.

Today, we have just a third of that figure: Arts Picturehouse on St Andrew's Street, Everyman in the Grand Arcade , and The Light at Cambridge Leisure Park.

As an elegy to lost screens and uneaten popcorn, CambridgeshireLive has decided to rewind the clock and remind ourselves of a few of our old cinemas. Do you remember going to see a film at any of these spots?
