The former Majestic Cinema
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 11 Dec 2017
A relatively early major cinema building, designed 1921 by Pascal Steinlet. The exterior is in the Classical 'Beaux Arts' style in Burmantofts 'Marmo' terracotta. The building was successively a Bingo hall and night club retaining a fair amount of the interior spaces, but it was burnt out completely in 2014. There are currently (2017) plans to redevelop it retaining the existing shell. Listed Grade II.
