First film shown was ‘Sailing Along’ starring Jessie Matthews and Barry MacKay (1938).
Architect was Dennis Hurford with F.G.W. Chamberlain.
Demolition commenced April 2023.
As of January 2023 this cinema is about to be demolished for flats however there is a protest group trying to getting at least the facade retained. Also pictured in recent Daily Telegraph article about the need for a new “grade 3” listing for buildings of importance but unqualified for a higher grading.
This building is still standing in July 2020 however stripped out for demolition. Please note correct address is Filwood Broadway.
Channel 4 news on January 3rd 2017 had item re redevelopment of Bristol. Camera caught this derelict cinema, the Broadway. Seen in CT without the metal fence but I imply it will soon make way for new homes.
