Located in Willington, County Durham. It was on Commercial Street, adjacent to the railway line of the Durham to Bishop Auckland branch, which no longer exists. The Empire Cinema was opened in February 1911 and operated throughout its life by the Hately Brothers. The proscenium was 18ft wide and the stage 15ft deep. and the sound system was by British Thomson-Houston(BTH).

The Empire Cinema was closed in 1961 and became a bingo club and has since been demolished. A Co-Op food supermarket now stands on the site.
