Anchor House, on the corner of Wells Road and Crossways Road, contains 21 flats. A blue plaque records that from 1933-2000, here stood the Gaiety Cinema, the last family-owned cinema in Bristol. The Gaiety Cinema was built during 1932-1933 on the site of a former limekiln. Seating 800, the cinema opened for the first time on Boxing Day 1933. The last film was shown in 1995. Several fires on the site made the building unsafe, resulting in its demolition in 2000.
