Description: | The Majestic Cinema opened in 1927 and was located on the corner of Oswald Road and Mary Street. It opened with two screens and a cafe for use by the patrons. In late 1934 it was taken over by Star Cinema chain based in Leeds who ran it for a number of years. In the 1970s another screen was added and it was renamed Studio Seven and then re-named again as Studio 5-6-7. In 1986 it was taken over by the Cannon Group before being sold to Gerald Parkes who changed the name back to the Majestic Cinema. By 1990 another two screens were added to the cinema. It finally closed in February 2003 due to the seven screen UCI, now Vue, cinema opening next to the bus station. The Majestic cinema building was demolished in March 2007 and the site has stood empty since then. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Oswald_Road Scunthorpe Majestic_Cinema Mary_Street Cinema entertainment | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
