Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking North along Hoe Street. The large building on the left behind the light brick building is what was the "Granada" cinema. Live shows were held here in the 50s and 60s with acts such as "The Beatles", "Rolling Stones" etc. Later it became the E.M.D. cinema but has now been sold to a relegious group who are hoping to turn it into a church.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The photo was taken shortly before the cinema became part of the Cannon chain. It later became MGM, then ABC, and finally EMD before closing in January 2003, following the purchase of the building by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. The building remains closed because planning permission to convert the building into a place of worship was refused. It houses the sole remaining original in-theatre Christie cinema organ in the UK.
