Keeping movies in the picture

Updated on 10 March 2008

Ronald Grant's cinema museum, based in south London, may have to fold if it cannot find a new permanent base.

Watch the full interview here.

In the days when cinema-going was still a gilded experience and a welcome escape from the limitations of a smaller world, a young boy fell in love with "going to the pictures".

Ronald Grant, who's now 71, has spent a lifetime working in cinemas and collecting the treasures and memorabilia associated with them.

His enormous collection now forms the Ronald Grant Cinema Museum. But despite being London's only cinema museum, its future is uncertain.

Currently based in an old workhouse in Lambeth, the museum's directors have been told they have to move, and as yet no permanent new base has been found.
