This was built in 1938 and was originally one of the first 'picture palace' cinemas, a byword for comfort and class. When Wetherspoons took it over they respected its history, as the company usually does, and have preserved most of the internal art deco features. There are two framed plaques on the wall near the front entrance which give a short account of the cinema's history before it became a pub.
