A fire gutted a former cinema on Pearl Street in Adamsdown, Cardiff, on 22nd February 2015; the building is now being demolished. It was built in 1913, opening as Splott Cinema, later becoming a bingo hall and most recently a Christian Centre. Proposals were made to erect apartments on the site, but the plans were later withdrawn.
