Seating was provided for 1,166, with 885 in the stalls and 277 in the circle. The projection box was at the rear of the stalls, beneath the circle. In 1929 it was equipped with A Western Electric(WE) sound system. In the mid-1950’s it was equipped with CinemaScope.
The Tennyson Cinema was closed on 1st July 1961 with Elvis Presley in “GI Blues”. It was converted into the independent Tennyson Bingo & Social Club. The building was later demolished with the widening of Otley Road.
