Originally a cinema for about 30 years, then a bingo hall for a further 30 years. It closed in 1998, and moves to protect renovate and re-open it began in 2000. Built into a rock-face, they excavated 10,000 tons of rock to a depth of 42 feet. The stage area is below ground. It opened on 7th October 1932, and was designed by architect W. Thornley, based on plans by Drury and Gomersall.
