Located in Keighley, West Yorkshire. The Oxford Hall Cinema was opened on 20th March 1911. It had a 20 feet wide proscenium and around 1929 was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system. By 1944 it had been re-named Oxford Cinema, and was operated by the owners of the Picture House in the town centre. Still open in 1954, it had closed by 1963.
In 1991 it was converted into a gymnasium named Workouts Health Club.

According to the Kinematograph Weekly of 30 March 1911,the Oxford Hall opened in the week commencing 20 March 1911. Entrance was 2d, 4d and 6d. No expense had been spared to make it the ‘finest picture hall in Keighley’.
‘The cinemas of Keighley & the Aire Valley’ incorrectly gives the opening as July/August 1914, but that relates to the incorporation of a company called Oxford Hall (Keighley) Ltd with a capital of £1000 in £1 shares which was set up to acquire the business already operating at the Oxford Hall.
