This Pub is Closed Long Term

This erstwhile pub, and more recently a semi-nightclub, with its imposing frontage, has been revamped and is now a combined bar, restaurant and takeaway.

The smart interior comprises a large two-level main room plus a couple of linked lounge-style areas at the front.

FURTHER DETAILS AWAIT A FULL RE-SURVEY

No car park, but free parking in nearby public car parks, or in the street in the evening.

Historic Interest

Originally the New Empire cinema, built in 1931 on the site of the earlier Empire cinema which had opened in 1912. The cinema reportedly closed in the early 1960s. No information on any other subsequent owners, but the premises housed an amusement arcade for several years until bought by the Barracuda Group (later the Bramwell Pub Company) and converted into a ‘Smith & Jones’ pub named the Paramount (after the Paramount Car Company), which opened in 2007. This closed in 2013. Subsequent changes of owner/operator have seen a number of refurbishments, name changes, and periods of closure.
