This building is used by the New Harvest Christian Fellowship as a church. The Fellowship was founded in California in the USA. The church is evangelical, and believes in a literal interpretation of the words of the Bible. The majority of the Fellowship's churches appear to be in California. The building itself started life as a Scottish Presbyterian Church in the 1840's. It was converted into a cinema in 1912, which involved considerable rebuilding, including a new front facade, which it retains. On this, the name Salford Cinema remains, and the date AD 1912. The latter is partly obscured in this picture by a lighting standard. Later the cinema was renamed Rex, and eventually it became the Rex Bingo Hall. In the 1980's it became a church again. It is a Grade II listed building.
