Is the interior as well maintained as the former Savoy/present Mecca Bingo Club in Burnt Oak? This should be a listed building like Burnt Oak.

Tesco should be proud of this building and should be doing all they can to preserve it, not demolish it. Is there any organized attempt to save the Greenford Granada from the wreckers?

The cinema was demolished in the summer of 1967 and the still standing Tesco store was built on the site, opening in April 1968. The garage is on the circle, next to the cinema site.

I remember seeing “Mary Poppins” at the Essoldo in 1965/66, when I was a child. Does anyone have a photo of the cinema, as I only have a very vague memory of what it looked like. Hard to believe it’s been gone for 40 years after a too brief 28 year existence.
