Statement of Significance

The former Star Cinema Theatre is of local historical Significance. It is a relatively early example of an cinema established in a 'primitive' factory like building, in keeping with the phenomenon of factories being converted at night into cinemas (e.g. Brunswick's first cinema (Oxford Hall) in Penders Nail Factory c.1909), of which no evidence remains. The building has been substantially altered, and has little architectural Significance.
