Built by Gaumont British Picture Corporation in 1931, it backs onto a fifteenth-century banqueting hall, which today provides the cinema's picturesque New Canal entrance. The auditorium itself was by architects William Trent and Ernest Tulley in a mock-Baronial style, with ceiling chandeliers and wall tapestries giving the illusion that this is a "Tudor cinema".
