The Plaza was inserted into the Assembly rooms after a fire damaged the original room. Parts of the plasterwork have been relocated in the new Howard Assembly Rooms ( which are adaptable and acoustically superb – just a shame that the fine Plaza auditorium was obliterated to re-create the original design).

In 1963, hundreds of Leeds school children were taken to special screenings at the Plaza Cinema to see the controversial (at that time) British sex film “The Yellow Teddy Bears” which dealt with the subjects of teenage pregnancy and abortion.
