The Curzon
Community Cinema is historically unique. It has been a part
of Clevedon and entertained the community for most of the
20th century, and with the on going renovations hopes to continue
to beat its record far into the next century.
Clevedon had been a farming community until
the Elton family of Clevedon Court saw the potential of
developing the town as a small, select seaside resort in
the early 1820's. New development spread to cover the Hill
and formed an area of substantial middle-class housing.
The old village along the bottom of the Hill grew to provide
the town with domestic servants, larger shops and on April
20th 1912, its first cinema.
