The independent cinema is still showing the world's best films after more than eight decades.

Pictured next to one of the original film projectors is the cinema's manager. James Frizzell, alongside Gary Biddlestone, who has worked at the cinema for almost 50 years

Despite closure during the pandemic, the economic uncertainty of the current climate, and other independent cinemas - such as The Lighthouse in Wolverhampton - closing, the Reel is still doing what it does best - entertaining customers. "We are happy to have made the 85 year milestone as its been a tough few years for the cinema industry, with the pandemic and heating costs, but we are positive for the future as we have some big films coming out. Avatar 2 is the next big film and the film slate for 2023 is very strong, so we should be okay.

Head of maintenance at the Bridgnorth attraction, Gary Biddlestone, has worked at the cinema for 50 years and has seen many changes throughout his tenure.
