Description

The Tatton Kinema or Cinema opened in 1937. It seated approx. 1,200 people in the stalls and circle, and also had a restaurant. It was divided into the Tatton Minor and Tatton Major Cinemas in 1971, and was again subdivided to create the Tatton Mini Cinema in 1976. It is not known when this photograph was taken, or which cinema or auditorium this projection room served; the location of this photograph has therefore been given as Tatton Cinema rather than the Major, Minor or Mini Cinema. The cinema was renamed the Apollo Cinema after being bought by Apollo. The cinema closed in 2000 and the building was demolished, though the facade was retained.
