Photo of the Picture House, dating from around 1976 here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/stagedoor/74755252/

It was operating as a cinema at this point (showing Silver Streak released in 1976), with no bingo signage, so I am not sure if the above date is wrong or if it reopened for films after bingo? Anyone with a definitive answer

Scarborough Council have the results of yet another consultancy (who did not bother to contact the lessee of the Futurist) which recommends putting all entertainments into the Spa Grand Hall and closing the Futurist.

Ian Grundy commented about Tower Cinema on Apr 29, 2009 at 1:27 am

The building has reopened again as a club and the long disputed unauthorised removal of the two domes has been unsatisfactorily rectified with moulded copies lacking the mosaic detail placed on the corner towers.

By April 2009 the upstairs bar, occupying at least part of the cinema area has closed and the upper area is for sale, bingo and other businesses continue on the ground floor.
