The Front Of This Building Is Now Modern  And Metal Clad. For Many years it was E.L.S.

At The Side, You Can See Evidence Of The Former Style Of The Building.

This cinema is really close to my childhood home, where I grew up. I remember in the mid 70s it was shut up, and people were talking about how it was going to be, or might have been a snooker hall. And around 1978 (possibly) the builders moved in, they took away the steps from the front of the entrance, and extended the front doors downwards to street level. Then stonemasons made white matching pieces to make the door edgings match, I remember how bright and new they seemed compared to the higher up matching older stones.

The builders must have removed the whole of the ground floor of the building and put in a concrete one at street level at this time. As before, the original floor was sloped from the built up front entrance and foyer, down to the back wall where the screen would have been.

The building was to open as a cheap supermarket called Supasave, and was like this for years.

Feb 2000 Hillsborough Park Cinema, Middlewood Road Hillsborough. junction of Catch Bar Lane ( Close to Sheffield Wednesday Football Stadium )

Around the back in the car park, we used to hang around with our bikes, and use it to go down the riverbank at the back, where there was a shortcut path to the bridge at catchbar lane opposite Sheffield Wednesday Ground.

In the car park at the back of Hillsborough Park Cinema, you can just still see the advert that was painted on the back wall
