This building opened as the Ritz in 1937 and was converted to a bingo hall in 1963. Eleven years later the cinema operation reopened, alongside the bingo, and now has two screens with, apparently, luxurious American seats with extra legroom. It prompts the question as to why more bingo halls have not retained their cinema screens.
