The Granada was originally a cinema that opened in 1930 and became a concert hall during the 1950s and 1960s.
It was located on West Gate, where Primark now stands, and for the majority of its life it was known as the ‘Granada’.
Did you know that The Beatles once played here, and they were not even the headline act? The venue was demolished in 1973.
In April and May 2023 there was an exhibition held at Mansfield Museum marking 50 years since the cinema closed.
A website has even been launched to preserve its history.
