Stratford-upon-Avon Picturehouse

The site was originally part of an iron foundry and later a car repairs garage. Rebuilt in 1930s, extended in the 1950s and further extended when converted into a cinema. In September 2018 a planning application was submitted stating that with the recent opening of the Everyman Cinema the Picturehouse was no longer viable. The applicant pointed out that the owner of the building had effectively been subsidising its operation by charging a rent below current local market values. This was to ensure that the town had its own cinema. As the Everyman Cinema now served that function the owner was proposing to demolish the building and replace it with a four storey hotel.
