Shaftesbury Cinema Theatre

Located in the southeast Manchester district of Longsight. The Shaftesbury Cinema Theatre was on Stockport Road, almost opposite the Kings Cinema (formerly Kings Theatre & Opera House). Opened in 1913, by 1937, it had been taken over by the H.D. Moorhouse Circuit operated by Harry D. Moorhouse. By 1944, it was independently operated.

The Shaftesbury Cinema Theatre was closed on 27th May 1961 with Howard Keel in "The Big Fisherman". It was later demolished and shops were built on the site.
