The Empire Electric Theatre in Station Square was the plushest of Whitby's three movie houses. Built of brick dressed with portland stone it stood opposite both the railway and bus stations.

Its 657 seats were split between stalls and balcony. It opened in 1914 and closed in the 1960's to be converted into a shop. Nothing from its cinema past remains inside.
