Wallsend - The Ritz

01 Jun 2024 2 75
Designed by the cinema specialist Percy L Browne, the Ritz had seats for 1,636 patrons and first opened its doors in 1939. The last film show at The Ritz was in 1962. The building soon reopened as a bingo hall – which eventually closed in 2011. By now it is converted into a pub run by the Wetherspoon group.
