Former suburban cinema on the north side of Anlaby Road, Hull, looking north from Glencoe Street. Designed by Blackmore and Sykes and built by Greenwood and Sons, the Carlton opened on September 9th 1928 showing the silent film "Lonesome Ladies". It was a lavishly decorated cinema with a Fitton and Haley organ which was later removed to the more central Cecil Theatre, destroyed by bombing during World War 2. The Carlton closed in April 1967 and was used as a bingo hall until fairly recently. The building is now disused.
