The Ritz (later known as the ABC, Astra and Apollo) was a cinema located at the junction of Abbey Road and Holker Street in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. The building was designed in a typical Art Deco-style by architect firm Drury & Gomersall and constructed in 1936 on a previously undeveloped site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Apollo Barrow-in-Furness )〕 Between 1961 and 1977 it was known simply as the ABC; after ABC Cinemas who took over ownership of the premises in the mid-1930s. This changed to the Astra when the venue was bought by Hutchinson Leisure. In this period the cinema was completely refitted, adding two extra screens to the existing one.〔 The largest of the screens seated 640 while the smaller two seated 260 each.〔 In the last part of its functioning life the cinema was named the Apollo after again being purchased; by Apollo Leisure. 1999 saw the completion of Hollywood Park in Barrow and a 6-screen multiplex by Apollo Leisure.〔 As a result, the redundant Apollo Cinema on Abbey Road closed down. Numerous proposals to conserve the building were presented, however a fire gutted the structure in the early 2000s scuppering any hope of redevelopment.〔 Ultimately demolished in 2003, the site is now occupied by Emlyn Hughes House, a four-storey landmark office building. ==See also==
