A much-loved cinema that has now been confined to the history books was once the place where a generation of Stockport kids went "all the time."
The Manchester Evening News recently took a look back at the MGM - Metro Goldwyn Mayer cinema - at Grand Central, which was rebranded a number of times before the demolition of the site in 2018. An institution in the area, Grand Central first opened in 1991 and shared a site with a bowling alley, laser quest and a nearby swimming pool.
When MGM opened over 30 years ago, the American film, television production, distribution and media company had a number of cinemas in the UK. And its Stockport branch welcomed generations to see the latest flicks, from visits on a rainy Saturday to first dates, birthday treats and more.
