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.
