Opened in 1933 the Granada Cinema served the rapidly urbanising Western Hove, Aldrington and Portslade and remained in use as a cinema until 1973 when it was closed. The building then became a Bingo Hall until 2003 when its current owners tried to sell the land to a property company specialising in retirement flats. Plans to demolish the building have been turned down so for the time being the building stands idle awaiting new use.
