I remember the building being the Co-operative Butchers' Society (at least the front part of the ground floor was) and I believe that the Empire was on the first floor of this long building which I guess will be long demolished.

There was another silent cinema called the Cosy on Main Street which became Moody’s Sale Rooms and was demolished in the 1970’s.
