What next for the Hobson Street cinema?

The Central Cinema on Hobson Street in Cambridge opened in 1921 on the site of a garage and was rebuilt nine years later.

It became a bingo hall in 1972, but has stood empty since 2009.

Plans to demolish it to make way for retail, office and community spaces were recently turned down.

So what next for the storied building?
