Details

The Coronation opened in 1911, but was extended in 1921. The auditorium lies parallel to High Street North with entrance approached by steps on the right side. Plain, rendered elevation to street with the name CORONATION on upper level at each end. The interior has a barrel-vault ceiling with ornate plasterwork, echoed on the balcony front. It had a fully-equipped stage, get-in and dressing room facilities and operated a cinéariety policy until 1938. In 1932 a Morgan & Smith two manual organ was installed. During the 1960s it became a Mecca Bingo Club until 1985 when it was converted to a snooker club, with a false ceiling extending from under the balcony area, which is now disused.


But a friend of his said the brewing techniques could make a difference. “When you see them pull a carton of something out of the refrigerator, it reminds me I’m paying $5 for a squirt of liquid and milk,” said Hannah Boyd, 16, who lives on the Upper East Side.
She helped herself to three free samples.

ceph·a·lo·pod (sĕf'ə-lə-pŏd')
cephalopod

n. - 頭足類動物

A cephalopod (Greek plural Κεφαλόποδα (kephalópoda); "head-feet") is any member of the mollusc class Cephalopoda, characterized by bilateral body symmetry, a prominent head, and a modification of the mollusc foot, a muscular hydrostat, into the form of arms or tentacles. Teuthology, a branch of malacology, is the study of cephalopods. These creatures became dominant around the Ordovician period. The fishing industry name for this class is inkfish, referring to many cephalopods' ability to squirt ink.
The class contains two extant subclasses. In the Coleoidea, the mollusk shell has been internalized or is absent; this subclass includes the octopus, squid, and cuttlefish. In the Nautiloidea, the shell remains; this subclass includes the nautilus. About 800 distinct living species of cephalopods have been identified. Two important extinct taxa are Ammonoidea, the ammonites, and Belemnoidea, the belemnites.
