WELCOME
In August 2020 the building that was originally known as the Plaza Cinema would have been 90 years old. It was located on West Gate in the centre of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire and for the majority of its life it was known as the Granada. This website is dedicated to keeping it's story alive.
THE GRANADA STAFF
A rare photo of the staff taken in the lobby of the cinema in the 1960s. Eileen Leverton (former Granada Usherette) has kindly allowed us to put this on to the site. The man in the centre is Granada Manager Fred Dawson and Eileen is peeking out behind him in the fancy winged glasses)

This picture was taken by Berisford Jones on Thursday 24th May 1973, two days before the Granada was closed for good. Thank you to Berisford for kindly allowing us to use the iconic photograph on this site.
