Tivoli Cinema

In Bolton, Lancashire, the Tivoli Cinema was built on the site of the Derby Cinema which was demolished in 1937. The Tivoli Cinema was opened 28th February 1938. Seating was on a stadium plan, with a raised stepped section at the rear rather than a conventional overhanging balcony. The proprietor was Rialto (Bolton) Ltd. and the proscenium was 65ft wide. There was a nicely streamlined, ‘modern’ frontage.

Interestingly, the proscenium had seemingly reduced by the 1953 edition, which gives it as just 44ft wide.

The Tivoli Cinema was closed in 1960. By the time I visited, in August 2002, the building was apparently being used as offices, as Tivoli House. More recently, Shahina Textiles Ltd have moved in.
