Since closing as a cinema this building has had a variety of uses but now stands unused. What is to become of it? The cinema opened on July 26, 1937 and seated 1,294 including 220 in the balcony. It closed in March 1976 but reopened its balcony as a trial later that year. This was short lived and the final screening was the Sound of Music on August 13, 1977.
