The Hippodrome is listed in the Kinematograph Year Book for 1914. It was owned by the Bingley Hippodrome Company. In the KYB for 1947 the capacity is 769 seats; and the same company was running it.
The Google maps pin point (above, right) is completely wrong (it’s pinned on Main Street in another community). The postcode BD16 2HZ is correct. Number 55 is a guess at the Main Street number. The site is now part of a car park next to estate agents at number 53. The Hippodrome was (probably) at the north end of the car park with the Water Works premises in the photo on the rest of the car park right next to the present estate agents.
