It’s now 80 years since the building opened and 50 YEARS since the last film was screened! It’s also be 21 years since the general population of Stretford were last allowed to step inside and 19 years since it was purchased by the current owners. That’s quite a set of anniversaries!
Whilst this website has been tracking the life and times of this pickled building for nearly 1/8th of its existence now (10 years!) there’s not ever been much to report. If you really want to get your cinema geek on however and feel the force of like minded people across the U.K., you’d do well to get yourself a membership of the Cinema Theate Association.
From Ladbrokes to Rank, another refit and the prize shop moves from the inner foyer to the stage. Mid 80s?

Who needs Muhammad Ali at Stretford Arundale flogging Ovaltine at Tescos when you can have Lynne Perrie at Stretford Top Rank Bingo flogging her autograph!
