Others were demolished and replaced by new buildings. A few are still standing, more-or-less, and have been converted for different uses.

   When was Bristol's first cinema?

   • But before that, way back in 1908, Bristol’s very first cinema could be found here.

   What was Bristol's first purpose-built cinema?

   • Opened in 1910, this was Bristol’s very first purpose-built cinema. It also had the unique feature of a sliding roof that was opened to let out all the fag smoke between shows. No, really.

   What happened to Bristol's Embassy Cinema?

   • That’s because the whole building was once the Embassy cinema, one of 12 new cinemas built in Bristol during the 1930s to cash in on the talkies. The Embassy boasted the distinction of being the city’s largest cinema and employed a staff of 50. But it was just too big to survive the onslaught of TV and closed in 1963.
