The building that the Savoy Cinemas is located in, opened on 10th August of 1877 as Exmouth Public Hall and was designed by architect J. Johnson of London. Moving pictures were being shown here from at least 1910 and in 1930 it was re-named the Capitol Cinema. It is listed as the Savoy Cinema in the 1937 edition of the Kinematograph Yearbook with a seating capacity of 850. The proscenium was 26 feet wide, the stage 21 feet deep and there were six dressing rooms. During the early-1940’s a German bomb fell on the Savoy Cinema, but it failed to explode. By 1966 it was operated by the Miles Byrne circuit.
In 1979 plans were put forward to re-develop the Savoy Cinema and it was closed. An amusement arcade opened in the stalls area. In 1987 the South East Devonshire District Council took over the building and did some renewal work, including converting it into a twin screen cinema. It re-opened on 24th July 1987 with 230 seats and 110 seats with “The Living Daylights” and “Superman IV”. One of the cinemas was located on what had been the former stage. In July 1994 a third screen seating 100 was created out of a former cafe area. Today, this third screen seats 70 people.
The Savoy Cinemas is now operated by the independent Scott Cinemas Ltd. chain.
The Electric Cinema first opened in London's Portobello Road on 24 February 1910. It was one of the first buildings in Britain to be designed specifically for motion picture exhibition, and was one of the first buildings in the vicinity to be supplied with electricity.[3] It was built shortly after its namesake the Electric Cinema in Birmingham, which predates it by around two months. Its first film was Henry VIII, screened on 23 February 1911.[3]
The venue opened 18 years before talkies became the norm, so had no facilities to broadcast sound.[3] The cinema was soon eclipsed by the huge picture palaces that became fashionable during the 1930s but, despite being shuttered for brief periods, it has remained in almost continual use until the present day.[4][5]

Cinema Treasures Website states: "Originally built in 1897 as a Union Hall which was designed by architect Arthur H.L. MacKinnon. It was sometimes used for occasional film shows. It became a full time cinema, opening as the Picturedrome in 1910. Seating was provided in stalls and circle.
In 1924 its interior was given an early style of Art Deco modernisation. It was re-named Cinema House. It was always an independently operated cinema and closed in 1971. Converted into a bingo club it is now a bar and nightclub known as the Forum.
On 6th March 1992, Historic Scotland designated the Cinema House a Grade B listed building."
