Originally The Grosvernor Cinema - built and owned in 1922 by the most famous Bloxwich resident Pat Collins, Showman, President of the Showman’s Guild, Alderman, Mayor and MP in his lifetime. Pat Collins died in 1943. Between 1935 and 1959 it was known as The Odeon Cinema. In May 1959 it closed and became derelict. It was used for several other businesses, including Flix nightclub. Eventually in 2015 Wetherspoons rebuilt the inside and retained the Art Deco frontage, and named it ‘The Bloxwich Showman’ in honour of Pat Collins. Originally Bloxwich was in Staffordshire, but in the 1970s boundary changes it was in the West Midlands.
