Located in Market Warsop. The Strand Cinema opened in 1936. It was independently operated and closed as a cinema in 1961. it later became Strand Bingo and social club as most do.
The building has a facade of hand-made brick, with a central stone feature. Inside the auditorium there is a curved proscenium, and the building is little altered from its opening.
the building has recently been sold to tesco though an agreement is in place to keep the frontage.

A great explore even as a permission visit, its amazing what a box of fosters lager can do and some persistance to enable access!

Decided to have a ferret around in a store room off from the projector room, moved some tables and found what looks like the projector and switch board.
