Viewed in October 2017. The Cinema Treasures website records that in the early 20th century this was the location of the Hippodrome Cinema. It was converted to a music hall and cinema in 1912. Renamed twice in the 1930s - first to New Hippodrome Cinema then Plaza Cinema towards the end of the 1930s. Converted to a bingo club in the 1960s. After Tonypandy's Picturedrome cinema closed in 1969, the Plaza was reopened as a cinema. After the Plaza Cinema closed for the last time in June 1983, the building was converted to a full time bingo club which was in business for about two decades.
