Woolton Picture House (also known as Woolton Cinema) is a privately owned cinema in the Woolton area of Liverpool, England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Home )
It was purchased in 1992 by David Wood, the grandson of Liverpool cinema pioneer John Frederick Wood.
Wood died on 12 June 2006 leading to the cinema's closure on 3 September. ''Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'' was the last film to be shown.
In 2007, a group of entrepreneurs purchased the cinema and re-opened it on 29 March 2007 with a screening of ''The Queen''.
Woolton Picture House is the only remaining single-screen cinema in the city, and is popular with cinema enthusiasts because of its old-fashioned atmosphere.
