Grosvenor Picture Palace, Grade II listed movie theater in Chorlton-on-Medlock, United Kingdom
The Grosvenor Picture Palace stands at the intersection of Grosvenor Street and Oxford Road, featuring Neo-Classical architecture with Roman-Corinthian elements and a preserved balcony.
Opening in 1915 with a screening of Jane Shore starring Blanche Forsythe, this entertainment venue operated as the largest cinema outside London during its peak years.
The building transformed from a cinema to a bingo hall, then a snooker club, and finally became a pub while maintaining its Grade II listed status.
Located at 137 Grosvenor Street, the establishment now functions as a pub managed by Blind Tiger Inns following a renovation in November 2024.
The cinema closed its doors on May 18, 1968, with a double feature of The Passionate Demons and Attack of the Crab Monsters before becoming a bingo venue.
