Leno's Cinema

 

 

 
 

Leno's Cinema, Radford Road in Hyson Green was originally built as a Co-Op store in 1908; it was noted for its massive art-deco window and corner turret (complete with stained glass).

By 1911 it had been converted into the Little John Cinema but in 1912 it was renamed Leno's Cinema, after a famour pantomime actor of the time, Dan Leno.

The cinema closed in 1968 and since then the building has been occupied by a bingo hall, a model racing club and a pine furniture store.
