Opera House

Located in Lochgelly, Fifeshire. The Opera House was built in 1908. It had a large stage house at the rear. Seating was provided in stalls and circle levels. For a while it was re-named Cinema, before reverting back to its Opera House name. It was equipped with a British Thomson-Houston(BTH) sound system and was booked by A.B. King.

By 1963 it had been equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system and had been taken over by the J.B. Milne Theatres chain and by 1966 was operating as a part-time bingo club, with films on other nights. It eventually closed as a cinema and became a full-time All Square Bingo Club using the stalls seating area only and with a suspended ceiling hiding the upper parts of the auditorium. It was demolished in April 2007.
