Carcroft Cinema
The 'Picture House', as it became known, opened in August 1924. It was situated at the junction of Park Avenue and Carcroft High Street, nearly opposite the Colliery gates.
Architect J. Blyth Richardson of Doncaster was the designer, the building being constructed in brick with terracotta dressings and a roof of Welsh slate. There was seating for 900. The cinema was opened to the strains of local singers and the Bullcroft Ambulance Band. Proceeds form the first house were donated to Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
After providing entertainment for nearly 70 years, including being run as a Bingo hall in the late years, by the 1980s, the Cinema was demolished and a supermarket built on the site.
