Located in the Latchford suburb of Warrington. The Premier Cinema opened in the early-1920’s. It had an 18 feet wide proscenium. Around 1930 it was equipped with a PTA sound system. Around 1948 it had been renamed New Premier Cinema and had been equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system.
The Premier Cinema was closed in September 1959. It was then used by a furniture removals firm. The building now has a new façade and is used for storage.

By the time I visited, on Thursday 28th October 2021, the former Premier was being used by the locally-based St. Rocco’s Hospice. Donated items are stored before being sorted and taken out to the hospice’s network of fund-raising shops. By chance, one of the volunteers was delivering some items, and he kindly allowed me to take a look around. Fortunately, even though the building has been largely gutted, the cinema decoration on the ceiling and upper walls is still very evident and has been nicely picked out in gold. The building’s owner allows the hospice to use it on payment of a minimal rental.
