Temple Cinema

In the photo, right to left: Temple school; Temple cinema; and Temple public house. The spire is on St Luke’s church which was largely demolished in the 1970s, leaving the spire-less tower as a decorative ruin within the graveyard. This landmark may help fix the site of the Temple cinema in the featureless collection of modern housing along that (i.e. east) side of Cheetham Hill Road north of the Queen’s Road junction.
