Granada Cinema, Chichester
The Corn Exchange (also the Exchange Cinema and the Granada Exchange) is a Grade II* listed building in Chichester, West Sussex, England. Built in 1833, the building has also been used as a Granada cinema. It is currently leased to a number of companies, including Next and the Boston Tea Party café chain. History In the late-1820s, a group of 70 corn merchants decided to form a private company, known as "Chichester Corn Exchange Limited", to finance and commission a corn exchange for the town: they each contributed between £25 and £250. The new building was designed by local architect, George Draper, and built on the corner of East Street and Baffin's Lane in Chichester between 1832 and 1833. In 1835 the roof was found to be unsafe and the building was stated to be in danger of collapse; it was rebuilt and remodelled to a design by architect John Elliott the following year. Corn, wheat, oats and barley were commonly traded at the Corn Exchange, and in 1899 wool fleec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Granada Cinema, Harrow
Harrow () is a large town in Greater London, England, and serves as the principal settlement of the London Borough of Harrow. Lying about north-west of Charing Cross and south of Watford, the entire town including its localities had a population of 149,246 at the 2011 census, whereas the wider borough (which also contains Pinner and Stanmore) had a population of 250,149. The historic centre of Harrow was atop the Harrow Hill. The modern town of Harrow grew out at the foot of the settlement, in what was historically called Greenhill. With the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in the 19th century, the centre of Harrow moved to Greenhill and it grew as the unofficial "capital" of the Metroland suburbia in the early 20th century; Harrow-on-the-Hill station is on one of the railway corridors between London and the Chilterns. Meanwhile, Harrow & Wealdstone station is on the West Coast Main Line and is the eighth oldest railway station, having opened in 1837 one and a ha ...

Granada Cinema, Tooting
Buzz Bingo, Tooting (formerly Gala Bingo and the Granada Tooting cinema) is a Grade I Listed building in Tooting, an area in the London borough of Wandsworth. Originally built as one of the great luxurious Art Deco cinemas of the 1930s, it is still considered by many to be the most spectacular cinema in Britain. In his 1966 guide to London's buildings, the architectural critic Ian Nairn said of it, "miss the Tower of London if you have to, but don't miss this". In 2000 it became the first Grade I listed 1930s cinema and in 2015 was selected as an asset of community value. History The building was first opened as the ''Granada, Tooting'' in 1931. It was designed by the cinema and theatre architect Cecil A. Massey for Sidney Bernstein, as part of his Granada cinema chain. The interior was by the Russian theatre director and designer, Theodore Komisarjevsky, who also designed the Granada Cinema, Woolwich. Construction had begun in May 1930 and was completed by Septem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Granada Cinema, Woolwich
The former Granada Cinema, also known as the Ebenezer Building or Cathedral of Christ Faith Tabernacle, in Woolwich, South East London, was built as a large and luxurious cinema in the 1930s. It had a seating capacity of nearly 2500 and is now being used as a church hall. The building with its extravagantly decorated interior is a Grade II* listed building. History In the early 20th century, Woolwich was a thriving industrial and military town. In the mid-1930s there were several smaller movie theatres operating in Woolwich, when two leading companies in the business, Sidney Bernstein's Granada and Oscar Deutsch's Odeon, decided more or less simultaneously to establish large cinemas in the town. The first of the two to open in 1937 was the Granada Cinema; the Odeon opened four months later, just across the road.Saint & Guillery, pp. 74–76online text. Granada by this time had a track record for building Britain's most glamorous cinemas. In Woolwich however, Cecil Masey (18 ...
