The West End Picture House, owned by Joe McKibben, opened on 9th October 1913. It was known as ‘Big Joe’s’ (as opposed to McKibben’s smaller Shankill Picturedrome, known as ‘Wee Joe’s’) though seating capacity was at some stage reduced to 800 to allow for greater comfort.
The West End Picture House closed in 1960. It was used as a furniture warehouse but the building was destroyed by an IRA terrorist bomb in the 1970’s. The site is now part of the Shankhill Leisure Centre.
