Over its 80-year history the building was rebranded a number of times, in 1957 at a cost of £30,000 the building was altered and renamed the Commodore Cinema and Ballroom with the cinema being removed a year later in 1958, the building was finally renamed the Commodore International in 1964. The building was finally closed on 31 August 2002. The building has now been demolished and replaced with a local Sainsbury's.
