Clifton Ludlow

Located in Ludlow, Shropshire. The Clifton Cinema was opened in 1938. The exterior was in a brick Streamline Moderne style. Inside the auditorium seating was provided in stalls and circle levels. On the side-walls were large paintings of hunting scenes. The proscenium was 31 feet wide. It was built for and operated by the Clifton Cinemas chain.

The Clifton Cinema was closed in 1979, and was sold to the Essoldo chain who continued showing films for a few weeks, before they converted it into an Essoldo Bingo Club. Despite a campaign to save the building, it was demolished in August 1987, and sheltered housing flats named Clifton Court were built on the site.
