Cinema
SITEDESC
Opened 17 October 1910. Built by W.H. Rewcastle, fishmonger. This was Benwell's first cinema. It had 640 seats. In 1919 Charles Faith bought the Adelaide. A two-storey stone-faced annex was built to the right of the hall to form a foyer with offices above. In April 1928 Faith sold the cinema to two London cinema owners for around £10,000. The Adelaide became the third city cinema to introduce sound. In 1931 Union Cinemas took over the Adelaide under the name of Benwell Cinemas Ltd. By this time the Adelaide was in competition with the Majestic (owned by the same company) and the Grand (HER 11350). The Adelaide closed in February 1943. It was used as a depot by Pathe then became a Woolworth's store. It is now a discount autoparts shop.

Description
Opened 7 August 1911. Designed by Messrs. Gibson and Stienet. The interior décor was crimson, white and cream. The ceilings, walls and proscenium had plaster work in 'Louis Quinze' style with fruit and flowers by Andersons of South Shields. The stage scenery was by Albion Studios. The lessees were Messrs. Jack Grantham and Eddie Cant. Along one side of the building there was a long verandah canopy to shelter queuing customers. The Grand seated 448 people in the stalls and 192 in the circle. In September 1932 the Grand became a theatre for a few weeks, then was taken over by the Stanley Rogers Cinemas circuit in April 1933. Actress Beryl Reid recalled that in 1937 there was wire netting over the top of the orchestra pit because the audience threw objects at the artists. During the war the Grand declined. It closed on 29 September 1956. The cinema became a warehouse for Ferodo. The site is now a supermarket car park.

Cinema
SITEDESC
Built by Alfred Black in 1934. He also built cinemas in Sunderland and Gateshead and converted a theatre into a cinema at South Shields. The architect of the Byker cinema was Edwin M. Lawson and the builder was Henry Waller. The exterior façade was white with a square tower which was illuminated at night. The foyers were panelled in walnut and the metal furnishings in the stalls and circles had a copper finish. The foyers were designed to resemble a liner. Set into the terrazzo floor of the main foyer were elephant's footprints which led from the entrance to the paybox and auditorium. The cinema had 1645 seats. The ceiling of the auditorium was decorated with carved figures. It was equipped with a Compton organ lit by floodlights and Western Electric sound system. The Regal was opened by the Lord Mayor on 3 September 1934. Stage shows declined after the war. In November 1955 the cinema was taken over by the Rank Organisation and renamed Odeon. In 1969 the Compton organ was moved to a private house in Majorca. The Odeon closed on 11 November 1972. A bingo licence was refused in 1975. The building became the Byker Superstore for a while. It was demolished in 1987 and a petrol station built in its place.
