Matthews Hardware Store

On Conway Road opposite the HSBC bank and above Matthews Hardware store was another of the town’ s cinemas.  Originally called the Colwyn Bay Cinema, it later became the Cosy and by 1937 was owned by the Kenyon Family who also owned the Princess Cinema. It closed in 1955 but is affectionately remembered as the cinema with the double seats in the back row – ideal for courting!
