EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and elegance of the former Essoldo Cinema, a striking Art Deco style cinema located in Stretford, Greater Manchester. Built in the thirties, this architectural gem stands as a testament to an era when cinemas were not just places for entertainment but also works of art themselves. Now disused and listed as a historic building (IoE 438795), the Former Essoldo Cinema holds an air of mystery and nostalgia. Its towering façade adorned with intricate faience detailing showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the Art Deco movement. Designed by Henry Elder, this convex masterpiece is truly a sight to behold. The curved lines and geometric patterns create a sense of dynamism while exuding timeless sophistication. It's no wonder that this iconic structure has become an integral part of Greater Manchester's cultural heritage. Although now silent, one can almost imagine the bustling crowds entering through its doors, eagerly anticipating an evening filled with cinematic magic. Today, it stands as a reminder of our collective history and serves as inspiration for future generations. Through Mr F. Bryan Basketter LRPS's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur that once graced these walls. This print invites us to appreciate not only its architectural significance but also its ability to evoke emotions and memories from days gone by.
