| Street View

Opened in 1916 as the Colne Valley Cinema. The name was later changed to the Picture House around 1945, but this was short lived as it was re-named Savoy Cinema by 1954.

The Savoy Cinema closed in 1970 and it was partly used as a Chinese restaurant in the foyer area, while the auditorium stood empty and derelict. In 2009, the building was converted into a cafe and children’s play centre.

This was the Savoy building before it was painted. Here is a recent photo of the Savoy building which has become controversial due to it’s unusual color scheme.

I’m all for progress, but look! They’ve completely removed the “SAVOY” name. That I find quite sad. Maybe someone could have at least kept the name up there??? Btw: The new exterior looks bloody awful…
