The Pavilion Cinema was built by the Shipman & King circuit, and was formed out of a remain part of the Christie’s Brewery, which had been demolished. It opened on 3rd February 1930 with Charles King in “Broadway Melody”. Seating was provided on a single level. It had a rather narrow entrance, and the auditorium ran parallel to the street behind buildings. The rather plain auditorium had panels on the side-walls containing artistic figures. It had a small stage and four dressing rooms. There was a car par at the rear of the building. It was equipped with a Christie 3Manual/6Ranks organ from 4th September 1933, which was opened by organist Jack Courtnay.
The Pavilion Cinema was closed on 5th February 1972 with Charles Aznavour in “The Adventurers”. The Christie organ was then removed from the building.
