Background
History
In 1923 the building expanded with a Georgean Restaurant with orchestra, Ship Cafe and upstairs dance hall. In January 1929, the cinema was closed for 18 months due to fire damage on the stage end and auditorium. In July 1967 the ballroom was converted to a bingo hall. The cinema closed on 14 April 1973, with the final showing being Cabaret. It was demolished in 1974, the site being occupied by a department store.
