Newcastle-under-Lyme: former Savoy Cinema
Opening as The Kings Hall in February 1913, this became the Savoy Theatre, until turned into a cinema in February 1927. It closed and became a bingo hall in 1964, but re-opened as the Savoy cinema upstairs and the Savoy Bingo downstairs in December 1975. It closed as a cinema (again) in April 1986, but as the Metropolis nightclub survived in use into the 21st century.

Clinton Cards and HSBC
This was once the site of the house where Thomas Harrison was born. Harrison became a Major-General and was second in command to Oliver Cromwell of the Parliamentarian forces during the Civil War. He was later tried for regicide and hung, drawn and quartered at Charing Cross in October 1660. There seems to be some discrepancy as to the date of his birth- a brass plate affixed to the wall of the bank states 1616, while published biographies claim he was born in 1606.
