Designed by the architect Henry Elder, it was the height of Art Deco fashion when it was opened by the Mayor of Stretford in 1936. The unusual "cash register" shaped frontage was intended to symbolise the business aspect of show business.[1] The Longford's debut feature was Tudor Rose starring Nova Pilbeam.[2] The building incorporated many modern features, such as sound-proofing and under-seat heating,[3] and it was also the first cinema in Britain to make use of concealed neon lighting. It had a seating capacity of 1,400 in the stalls and 600 in the circle, with a further 146 seats in the café area.[1] The foyer featured large murals by Frederick Harry Baines depicting contemporary cinema scenes.[4][5] When built, the cinema had a short pedestrian approach to the facade, but this was removed when the A56 was widened. During the Second World War the building was used for concerts, including one given by a young Julie Andrews.[3] It also played host to the Hallé Orchestra after the orchestra's own home, the Free Trade Hall, was bombed and severely damaged during the Manchester Blitz of 1940. The orchestra performed twelve concerts at the cinema in the 1942-3 season and more under Barbirolli the following season.[6] After a change of ownership in 1950, the cinema was renamed the Stretford Essoldo. It continued to operate as a cinema until 1965, when it was converted into a bingo hall, which it remained until its closure in 1995.[3] The building has been unused since then. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1994.[7] References1. ^1 {{Cite book|title=Cinemas of Trafford|last=Rendell|first=Douglas|publisher=Jarvis Print Group|year=1988|isbn=0-9512560-1-7|location=|pages=55|quote=|via=}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://longfordcinema.co.uk/history/|title=History|date=2010-03-21|newspaper=Longford and Essoldo Cinema Stretford|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-26}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://longfordcinema.co.uk/|title=Longford and Essoldo Cinema Stretford|website=Longford and Essoldo Cinema Stretford|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-27}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1240376|title=THE TOP RANK CLUB (FORMER ESSOLDO CINEMA) - 1240376{{!}} Historic England|last=England|first=Historic|website=historicengland.org.uk|access-date=2017-01-26}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-harry-baines-1577533.html|title=OBITUARY : Harry Baines|date=1995-10-14|newspaper=The Independent|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-01-26}} 6. ^{{Cite book|title=The Hallé, 1858-1983: A History of the Orchestra|last=Kennedy|first=Michael|publisher=Manchester University Press|year=1982|isbn=0719009219|location=|pages=32|quote=|via=}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?pid=1&id=438795|title=Detailed Record|website=www.imagesofengland.org.uk|access-date=2017-01-27}} 2 : Stretford|Grade II listed buildings in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford |
