Cinema

Located in the village of Lymm, 5 miles east of Warrington. The building was originally built as a drill hall, and by the 1920’s, it was used by traveling showmen, exhibiting films. By the mid-1920’s, it was a full time cinema, known as the Drill Hall Cinema. Seating was provided for 670. The proscenium was 22 feet wide, the stage was 20 feet deep and there were four dressing rooms.

By the 1930’s a cafe had been added and it was re-named Cinema. Once CinemaScope had been fitted, the Cinema had a seating capacity for 560. It was closed in the early-1960’s, and was converted into a potato factory, making potato chips for sale in fish & chip shops.
