One of the most urgent needs expressed by residents of Kirkham is for some form of leisure attraction, in particular a cinema on the high street.
At one time there were two cinemas in Kirkham, now there are none.
Initially there was a proposal to set up an Arts and Heritage Centre & Community Cinema, which has further developed into a proposal for a Restaurant and Community Cinema to create a sustainable future on the high street in one of Kirkham's most historic buildings.
52-64 Poulton Street is a Grade II Listed former Girls school built in 1860. It became a community hall in 1896 and latterly the TSB bank.
This prime high street property is very well located for a Restaurant and Community Cinema.
The building has been vacant for a number of years, but has been part-restored already including Façade cleaning and internal alterations.
