Description

The New Gallery was built as an art gallery in the late 19th century. The building was converted into a restaurant in 1910 and subsequently a cinema in 1913, to the plans of William Woodward & Sons. The cinema was altered in 1925 to the plans of Nicholas & Dixon-Spain. The New Gallery Cinema operated until 1953. The building was used as a church until the 1990s. It was later used for retail.
