Duke's at Komedia

The Duke of York is a Picture House in Brighton. It opened in 1910 and is Britain's longest continually operating cinema. The range of films caters to less mainstream tastes than most commercial cinemas and there is an emphasis on independent, cult and foreign language films.

Giant model legs painted to appear like those of a "Can Can" dancer rest on one of the towers on the front of the building. These came from the "Not The Moulin Rouge Theatre" in Oxford, and were commissioned by one of the cinema's previous managers.

A few months ago The Duke of York opened another venue with two screens at Komedia where the legs also feature on the roof.
