Hopefully the wonderful Art Deco frontage will be kept as part of the new development. According to the local paper, the Watford Observer, 'The locally listed building was constructed in 1913, with Central Hall Cinema, Watford’s first large cinema, opening in December that year before it was given its existing art deco renovation in 1930. The cinema closed in 1968 before it became a bingo hall. Mecca Bingo shut down in November 2014.'
