This reopened for films for a brief period in 1970.

As I recall, the newspaper coverage in The Northern Echo emphasised the fact that the new lessee was going to show 16mm only! I do not recall how long the venture lasted but I guess that it was short lived.

At around the same time another brief revival occurred at the Avenue Cinema in nearby Coxhoe using 35mm.
