This is an August 1947 aerial view of the building which was later to be the Classic/Cannon in Huddersfield.
It has been known as: Hippodrome; Armoury Theatre; Essoldo; Classic; Cannon; Tudor. There does seem to be confusion about the sequence, though.
The Kinematograph Year Book (KYB) 1914 has it as Hippodrome, Ramsden Street. KYB 1931 has it as New Hippodrome with Western Electric sound. KYB 1942, 1947 and 1952 have it as the Tudor Super Cinema with WE sound and 1500 seats.
That would indicate that Essoldo, Classic and Cannon followed in that order.
