The Alhambra Theatre in Higher Openshaw, Manchester, England, was opened in 1910, part of the H. D. Moorhouse Theatre Circuit, but it had been converted to a cinema by the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The cinema was converted into a bingo hall in the early 1960s. The auditorium was finally used as a sporting club,[2] and what remained of the building was used as a restaurant, storage space and glass works.[1] The Alhambra was demolished in 2009 to make way for a new Morrisons supermarket.[3]
