Hidden within the recently sold Wetherspoons on the border of Redfield and St George is a largely intact ART DECO CINEMA.

The art deco frieze runs all the way over the ceiling. The original balcony seating remains - at least 130 seats and there's a large open space in front of the screen that used to belong to the organist and original stall seating.

Originally opening as St George’s Hall Electric Palace in 1912, the cinema was extended and renamed St George’s Picture House in 1927, before becoming the Granada in 1935. It closed in 1961, then served the area as a bingo hall for around 30 years. The foyer area of the site opened as a J D Wetherspoon pub, called St George’s Hall in 1998.

The space has not had chance to succeed as a cinema for 60 years. 

We believe this is a huge opportunity for local people to have a community cinema and for the city to preserve a real cultural treasure.

To demolish it would be a tremendous waste. 

Do you want it to be demolished and turned into flats, or campaign to restore it for the local community?

Sign the petition to tell the local council to make St Georges Hall an asset of community value. We want the council, planners and any developers to work with residents, to ensure this cultural space is not lost. 

Please sign this petition and share it as widely as you can.
