== History ==
The Plaza is a traditional single screen cinema in the market town of Skipton, North Yorkshire. Designed by architect and engineer Jonathan Varley, it was built as a temperance hall in 1873, but was converted into a cinema in 1912. The Temperance Hall acquired its present ornate entrance in 1915 following its reopening as the Gem Picture Palace. In its early days it functioned as a music hall with films as part of the entertainment, then was acquired in the early 1920s by Matthew Hartley & Son. For three generations it stayed in the family, until it went up for sale in 1998 and was bought by Mr. Charles Morris to become a Northern Morris Cinema.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Further Information and History for The Plaza Cinema. )〕
Our favourite story from the Plaza's long history concerns the management's way of keeping rowdy youngsters in check in those long gone days. The Plaza's secret weapon was a long pole with a stuffed boxing glove on the end. Anyone who started thowing popcorn, making too much noise or any committing any other misdemeanour would get a solid poke with the boxing glove from the extra long arm of the law!
From the ''Telegraph & Argus'', first published Saturday 2 May 1998.〔
