It was also known as the Ritz Carlton Cinema to avoid confusion with the large city centre Ritz Cinema (later Odeon).

The Ritz Cinema closed Saturday 8th June 1968 with Barry Ingham in “A Challenge for Robin Hood”. It was converted into a bingo club which closed in 1990.

In 1992 the building was ‘For Sale’. Since demolished, Willow Brook Care Home has been built on the site.
