Granada Cinema, Movie theater in Woolwich, England.
The Granada Cinema features a dark brown brick exterior with five large windows beneath an awning and an advertising tower near its entrance.
The cinema opened on April 20, 1937, with screenings of Good Morning Boys and Lady Be Careful, attended by actress Glenda Farrell and actor Claude Hulbert.
During the late 1950s and 1960s, the Granada Cinema hosted performances by Roy Orbison and The Beatles, becoming a central entertainment venue in Woolwich.
The interior space originally accommodated 2,400 people and included a Wurlitzer organ for live performances during film screenings and special events.
Russian set designer Theodore Komisarjevsky created Gothic-style interiors that contrast with the modern Art Deco exterior designed by architects Cecil Masey and Reginald Uren.
