The building is recognisable as a cinema; it was opened on 22nd November, 1934, and prospered for a few decades. However, it fell out of favour and by 1970 it was used as a bingo club. That venture also faltered over time, the building reverting to films and then back to bingo in a series of hopeful changes. Sadly, the curtain lowered and the church took over in 1999.
