In 1989 Showcase Cinemas Image by the side of the A57 opened on the site of Belle Vue Zoo. It closed permanently in March 2020 at the start of the coronavirus pandemic and has now been demolished. The 13-acre site was sold to Manchester City Council. It will be replaced by The Co-op Belle Vue Academy run by the Co-op Academies Trust. Construction is now underway.
