Sutton-in-Ashfield - The Picture House

This Wetherspoon pub was built as the King's Cinema in 1932. A casualty of the general decline in cinema use in the 1960s, King's Cinema closed down in 1967. Within a few weeks, it reopened to a full house as the Star Bingo and Social Club. The bingo hall survived into the 1990s, and, more recently, was used as the Picture House Night Club. The building re-opened as a Wetherspoon pub on 22 Feb 2000. The above information obtained from http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-picture-house-sutton-in-ashfield .
