The Tinsley Picture Palace, located in the Tinsley district of Sheffield, opened on 16th November 1912 with 600 seats, all on a single floor. In 1920 alterations were made to the facade, building it up from a single storey to three storey's in height. In August 1926 a balcony seating 120 was constructed inside the auditorium.

It was independently operated throughout its life and was closed on 15th February 1958.

Western Electric Sound was installed in April 1930, with cinemascope arriving at the Tinsley Picture Palace in March 1955 with Richard Burton & Jean Simmons in 'The Robe' being the first feature shown here in this format.The cinema never opened on Sundays and never succumbed to bingo, being a cinema all its life.
