Retro takes a step back in time this week to look at Sheffield’s long lost cinemas.

Lots of Sheffield’s much loved cinemas are no longer with us. How many can you remember?

This retro photo gallery includes the old Odeon cinema on Flat Street, the Rex cinema in Intake, Studio 7 on the Wicker, and many more.

The Scala Cinema, Brook Hill, Sheffield. The cinema opened on December 23, 1921 and closed on July 5, 1952. The building was then used by Sheffield University until finally being demolished in 1971. The University arts tower can be seen in the background.
