Art Deco - The Longford Essoldo in Stretford, Manchester

A look at The Longford Essoldo in Stretford, Manchester.

Longford Cinema opened in 1936. It was a cinema until 1965, before becoming a bingo hall. It closed in 1995 and remains unused.

As well as being called the Longford Cinema, The Longford Essoldo, the Stretford Essoldo, and The Top Rank Club, the building has been given the name "The Cash Register" because of its unusually shaped frontage.
