Originally the Radway Theatre, it opened on 25th June, 1928. Designed by local architect P.E. Steadman, it seated nearly 700. With the arrival of the movies, it was converted into a cinema, with noted architect William Henry Watkins applying his plans in 1929. The Radway has remained a cinema ever since, barring a few periods for major refurbishment. In 2020 it was awarded more than £42,000 from the Government's Culture Recovery Fund.
