Manningham is a historically industrial workers area as well as a council ward of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.

The building closed in 1936 for a partial rebuild involving a new roof, balcony, and an enlarged screen, and the cinema reopened in 1937.

[6] The building was designed by architect T Patrick and is built of red brick with a white tiled entrance and domed tower.

[6] After a major refurbishment by Asian Cine Ltd in 2000, the cinema - now reduced to 400 seats - showed Bollywood films.

In 2001 a blaze wrecked the cinema, and its fire-damaged part was rebuilt as an Asian Marriage Hall and function room.

Recent actions by the Bradford Council and local community groups have helped in starting to improve the area.
