Closed 17 July 1963 with “A Prize to Arms”
The photo/postcard in the archive section is almost certainly 1930’s.
The hoarding on the wall appears to advertise ‘House of Unrest’ (dir.Leslie Howard Gordon,1931)supported by Stanley Lupino starring in ‘Love Race’(1932).

There is a colour postcard in Huddersfield Library showing the Waterloo as a cinema.It is lost in a huge press cuttings folder. The “rooms for televison equipment” were mentioned in the 1953 book gazetteer, implying they were always there but perhaps not!
Space for TV equipment ??? 1931 a bit forward thinking..
Opened on 12 October, 1931. Architect CF Mallinson. The Mighty Cinema describes it as having a cubiform façade with shops to left and right of entrance.Space for TV equipment, an orchestra and dressing rooms under stage It closed in 1963, became a bingo club for a month only. Now commercial
