Currently covered by scaffolding is the Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1384997 Dancehouse Theatre http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour8/area8page5.html Originally it housed two cinemas called The Regal Twins. In the 1960s it was converted into a five screen complex before closing in 1986. The lease of the abandoned property was obtained by the Northern Ballet School in 1990. In collaboration with The Dancehouse Theatre they restored the building to its former Art Deco splendour. One cinema was converted into the Dancehouse Theatre and the other 4 cinemas became dance studios. The refurbished building was re-opened by HRH Princess Margaret in 1994.
