About

The Plaza first opened its doors to the public on 6th October 1932, with a charity show
for Stockport Infirmary. The films shown were “Jailbird”, starring Laurel and
Hardy, and “Out of the Blue” with Gene Gerrard and Jessie Matthews. Ticket
prices ranged from 7d (3p) to 2/- (10p). Built at this time, The Plaza stood on the cusp
between silent movies and the talkies; it looked both backwards and forwards. It also
created a luxurious escape for people accustomed to the hard life of a Northern industrial
town.
