The Splott building appears to have been acquired by a religious organisation.

In late 2008 the Splott continues as a Bingo hall, though under new management.Externally it remains substantially unchanged when compared with pictures published in the local press in 1930 after rebuilding.

A planning application has been submitted to demolish the Splott and build a large number of dwellings. (Feb 2008)

Opened on or around 16th May 1913, the original building had a seating capacity of 750. In 1930 it underwent a major re-building which increased the seating capacity to 2,000.

Last operated as a cinema by the Jackson Withers circuit, they converted the building into a bingo club and a few years later that company were taken over by the Rank Organisaion who re-named it the Top Rank Bingo Club. It is currently a Mecca Bingo Club.
