The building was first constructed as a military cinema in 1916, located at Prees Heath Camp near Whitchurch, Shropshire. It was known as the Picture House.
It was dismantled and resited in Dawley, Shropshire as the Cosy Cinema which opened in 1921. It had a facade decorated in a Tudor Revival style, and the auditorium was made of corrugated iron, with a tin roof.
The Cosy Cinema was always independently operated and was still open in 1966. It had closed by 1969, and has since been demolished.

The Cosy Cinema started life as the Picture Palace on Prees Heath Camp, which was near Whitchurch, Shropshire. The camp opened in 1915, and the cinema, along with other leisure buildings were established by 1916. Built as a temporary structure, wooden framed with a corrugated iron roof and sides, the mock Tudor facade was purely a theatrical frontage.
It was this building that was dismantled and moved to become the Cosy Cinema in Dawley.
