Located in the Dovecot district east of Liverpool. The Granada Cinema Theatre was opened on 24th December 1932 with “The Rosery”. Designed in an Art Deco style by Liverpool based architect Ernest Shennan, it had seating provided for 1,201 in the stalls and 593 in the circle. The proscenium was 50 feet wide, and the stage 12 feet deep.
The Granada Cinema was taken over by Associated British Cinemas(ABC) in 1935. ABC closed the Granada Cinema on 30th September 1961 with Clint Walker in “Gold of the Seven Saints” and “White Warrior”.
It was converted into an Alpha Bingo Club. Later operated as a Mecca Bingo Club, which closed in 1994 when they moved into a purpose built bingo club building further along East Prescot Road.
The Granada Cinema building has operated on an on/off basis as a community centre, a function room and indoor golf course. By 2021 it was operating as a dairy store in the front of the building and a carpet store in the auditorium.
