Artist's view of cinema unveiled

The watercolour of the cinema is by Norfolk artist Donna Scott

An artist's impression has been unveiled of how the £3.5m Cinema City in Norwich will look when it is refurbished and reopened in 2007.

The watercolour by Norfolk artist Donna Scott shows the new Cinema City, retaining the historic buildings that house the art-house cinema.

The building includes Suckling Hall, parts of which date back to the 1300s.

It includes a first floor medieval panelled room which will be opened to the public for the first time.

To the left of Suckling Hall is Stuart Hall, built in 1925 and designed by Norwich Architect Edward Boardman.

Cinema City before the refurbishment work started

For the first time, the new Cinema City logo can be seen on the building.

Cinema City director David Litchfield said: "It gives me great pleasure to be able to show this lovely painting to the public, especially to our loyal audiences.

"I hope it will confirm our commitment to preserving these wonderful buildings and show how our dream of marrying the medieval with the modern is about to be realised."
