Plaza Cinema, Stockport, Art Deco movie theater in Stockport, England
The Plaza Cinema features a double-height auditorium with Greek and Egyptian motifs, decorated walls, and an exterior covered in glazed architectural terracotta.
Constructed in 1932 through excavation of a sandstone cliff, the Plaza Cinema initially offered 1,873 seats and served as a shelter during World War II air raids.
The Plaza Cinema maintains its original Compton theatre organ from 1932, enabling performances of musical accompaniments during classic film screenings and events.
The theater contains 614 seats in the stalls, 318 in the front circle, and 254 in the rear circle, with an operational café serving refreshments Wednesday through Saturday.
The building structure extends underground due to the excavation work required during its construction, incorporating parts of the natural sandstone cliff.
