History
editThe building at 13 Stoke Newington Road was built in 1936 as an Art Deco cinema called The Savoy, later ABC, that ceased operations in 1984. It was later used as a snooker hall and wedding venue, among other uses. "The main auditorium then lay derelict for 40 years" until 2015.[5][6] After a £3 million redevelopment by Auro Foxcroft and others,[7][8][9] Evolutionary Arts Hackney, or EartH, opened there in September 2018.[10][11]
