Listed in the Kine Year Book for 1959 but is not in the directory for 1961. One source states it was demolished although I suspect this refers to just the frontage. Still Kwik Fit centre in November 2017.
Here is the schedule for September 2017:
4 – The Last Word
5 – Churchill
12 – Tommy’s Honour
13 – Aline in Berlin
19 – Maudie
21 – Dunkirk
25 – Final Portrait
NT Live included Angels in America and Yerma
The cinema closed in 2006. Evidence shows that the building has been in use as a flooring shop, but the foyer is in pretty much the same state as it was when I last photographed it in 2013 complete with fire extinguisher on the counter, see new photo. More info at: www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands/864595/highland-community-aiming-to-resurrect-local-cinema/. The Group’s website is at: www.lochabercinema.co.uk/group-media-links/. The clothing shop at the front was previously the TIC.
The centre is not currently showing films. The Lochaber Cinema Group occasionally screens films in local community venues, other than that the nearest cinema is a 90-minute bus ride away in Oban!
The Boss Brewing Company plan on moving into the empty cinema creating a brewery and taproom bar at a cost of £250,000. May also show outdoor movies next summer, presumably in the car park.

Shouldn’t that be May 1910 rather than 2010. William Coutts was said to have run films in Morriston Hall before the Picturedrome although this could be one in the same thing.
Mars Hill Church now occupy the former cinema and have reopened parts of the building with more to come such as the cafe bar. The Red Rock Harmony choir use it for rehearsals and a concert was held in September 2017 by musical group Belle Voci. The flats on top are self-catering holiday flats called Riviera Apartments.
Earlier editions of the Kine Year Book show a “Cinema” not necessarily the same one as the Lyric, the latter could have been a replacement owned by the same family.
The Hackney Picturehouse has had 5 screens for some time now. The fifth is to the left of the cafe bar and up the stairs and is a similar size to that of Screen 4. Occasionally films are also shown opposite The Attic bar when part of a film festival.
Scottish Architects website states the New Tivoli opened on 1 January 1934, more info at: http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/building_full.php?id=216936
Building began in 1910 but was postponed owing to the hostilities with the opening not until 26 December 1917. It was purpose-built with 600 seats, with wooden benches at the front and upholstered seats at the back, and had back projection. Early screenings included the Youghal Gazette, a newsreel of local stories. It closed in 1988 and the projector is now in the Tiernan McBride Library at the Irish Film Institute. The building was later turned into craft shops.
The Regal was converted to 3 screens in June 1997 and closed on 29 August 2010. Projectionist Michael Roche, who was 87 at the time, was reputed to be the oldest in Ireland.
The Scala closed again on 8 January 2015 but was reopened on 3 July 2015 by Aurora Leisure. It was taken over by its current operator Merlin Cinemas in April 2016.
New image added today.
The Gate opened on 12 April 2006 and has digital projection in all screens along with Dolby Digital Surround sound.
The cinema is part of Tramshed, an entertainment venue that opened in 2015. The Stranglers and Buzzcocks are due to play in 2018.
