Town shop raises cash for historic cinema
A TOWN centre shop has raised more tha £300 for a historic cinema.
The Original Factory Shop, in Kingsway, Dovercourt, has been fundraising for the the Electric Palace Trust as part of its Make a Difference in Your Community charity campaign.
Staff and shoppers raised the cash for the Harwich cinema by taking part in a range of activities, including fancy dress, community raffles and sponsored events.
