In the late-1920’s it was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound syatem.

Taken over by the Union Cinemas chain in November 1935, they were taken over by Associated British Cinemas(ABC) in November 1937.

The City Picture House was closed on 18th June 1960. It was later demolished and a Littlewood’s department store was built on the site.
