The Picture House opened in either 1917 or 1918 and was operated by Cyril Getcliffe. The facade was typical of a cinema at that period and had a decorative feature of a swag of fruit and the name ‘Picture House’ in the stonework over the entrance.

The name was changed to Roxy Cinema in about 1936 and it continued until closing in 1958. It was demolished in the early 1960’s and a branch of Boots Chemist’s shops was built on the site.
