View of Morley New Pavilion which was built as a theatre in 1911. It was turned primarily into a cinema in 1915, changed to a Bingo and Social Club in 1968 and, after two or three years standing vacant, it became a Nightclub in 1990. This photograph shows the building under the control of Walkers Bingo and Social Club, who had taken over the running of the Bingo Club from Star Bingo in about 1980. The noticeboard outside the entrance shows what prizes were available. Notice that in 1984 the four shops in High Street underneath the theatre were still open for business. The wooden huts just beyond the Pavilion where T. H. Stephenson had his photographic studio have been cleared away as parking area for the South Queen Street Working Men's Club.
