Located in the south Manchester district of Old Trafford. The New Globe Picture Hall was a conversion of part of the extensive Manchester Carriage Co. horse-drawn bus and tram depot. It was opened in 1914. By 1937 it had been taken over by the H.D. Moorhouse Circuit and was renamed Globe Cinema.

The Globe Cinema was closed on 31st March 1957 with “Son of Belle Starr” and “Private Eyes”. There are still substancial parts of the old tram depot still standing.

My Family bought the cinema in the 1970’s/1980’s and own it today. Nothing apart from the shell of the screen area remains and some tiling remains. It was known locally as the flee pit!

The building was not demolished and still exists today though in an almost unrecognisable state. It is on the corner of Cornbrook Street and Carriage Street. The Cornbrook Street facade has been clad in metal panels. There are a couple of photos at https://apps.trafford.gov.uk/TraffordLifetimes/ but I can’t link directly to them. A search for Cornbrook Street will find them. It is easy to locate the Globe on the aerial photo as the name is painted on the roof.
