I seem to remember the Co Op used the gutted out building as a supermarked in the 70s before it was demolished late 70s early 80s to build Sunwin house (the new Co Op). It had the fancy cinema/theater style plaster work on the walls you could tell it was a old cinema/theater. Sunwin house and all round there was flooded out in the 80s wonder if it was ever flooded as a cinema? Co Op sold Sunwin house when they hit financial difficulties a few years ago and it was split into separate units.

The cinema is demolished, not closed (did I post wrong?)

The street address was Keighley Road (not Swadford Street), Skipton; the same as the Regal which was nigh opposite (as in the photo).

A business called Fulton’s Foods, part of a large retail building, sits on the site of the Premier. It is to the right of Poundland in the Streetview (my error). BD23 2DZ is the correct postcode and is presumably for the entire retail building (of many businesses) which has its principal entrance on Swadford Street (but the Premier was not on Swadford St).
