Nigel Ogden hears about the revival of the Plaza Cinema in Stockport, its 80th birthday celebrations and its original Compton organ, which is maintained in first-class condition.

The Plaza Cinema in Stockport is enjoying a glorious revival, thanks to a project which has seen this superb Art-Deco masterpiece restored to exactly as it appeared when it first opened its doors to the general public in October 1932 including its original Compton organ, maintained in first-class condition. One of the masterminds behind the restoration, Gary Trinder, tells Nigel Ogden about the project and the Plaza's 80th birthday celebrations currently taking place.
