On 1 January 1937 notice was given of a cinema in Burnley with conflicting details, although it is assumed that both were for the same scheme:

1936-1937    Ritz Cinema, Church Street, Burnley
Client            Honeywood Estates Ltd 
Architect        Drury and Gomersall, Manchester
Reference      Builder 1 January 1937 Page 40 - new cinemas.

Note that records have still to be found for a cinema in Church Street
