Despite this, the cinema remained a beloved institution, with a loyal following and a rich history. The impact of the fire on the local community will be significant, with many mourning the loss of a cultural icon. Keywords like 'historic cinema', 'record-breaking run', and 'cultural institution' come to mind when remembering Roxburgh cinema.
