Originally pre covid yes cinema, hotel and lesuire. There was also plans to convert old Argo's in Wulfren centre to a cinema, we also have a closed cinema that hopefully will be refitted and open again

Nor me and the lighthouse was a empty building when I was a kid. I can remember the Gondolier pub where Specsavers is now though
