History
Savoy Cinema was built in 1935 to designs by the architect Reginald Cooper. It is built in the art-deco style with a curved front. It is owned by Savoy Cinemas.
It was opened on 7 November 1935 by Lenton Picture House Ltd, a consortium of local businessmen. It had seating for 1,242. The first film was Flirtation Walk with Dick Powell.
The interior of the Savoy Cinema was itself used as a setting for part of the famous 1960 film by Alan Sillitoe, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.[2]
In 1972 the single auditorium was rebuilt to offer three screens.
