Located in Burnley Road, the cinema opened in 1932 and closed in 1966, then becoming a bingo hall and eventually a Kwik-Save supermarket before closing completely in 2008. The site is now derelict and the building is at risk of being demolished. Local action groups are active in attempting to at least save the classic art deco facade.
