English: Tower Cinema, Anlaby Road. Built 1914 by H. Percival Banks of Hull. Ornately decorated front of green and cream faience. Large recessed central arch with Ionic pillars to first floor above balcony. Allegorical female on the parapet and above the corners two domes decorated with green and yellow mosaic. The corner entrances have scrolled pediments with swags and cartouches. Pevsner commented in 1972 that its belated Art Nouveau details were "undeniably debased in the extreme, but the young have begun to like this sort of thing". It appears that since this description was written in the "Buildings of England" that the mosaic on the domes has gone.
