On the front of the building is this stone with the date of 1896. It looks as if there may have been something else inscribed below, but if so it has either weathered away, or been deliberately erased.

Ritz, 53-57 Blaby Road, South Wigston
This building started life in 1920 as The Picture House, an early cinema. In 1938 it received a new external facade, and was renamed the Ritz. It ceased to be a cinema in 1980, when like so many others it became a bingo hall, but retained the Ritz as its name. There are no notices outside, so possibly it is no longer in use for bingo.
