Electric Palace

Viewing: Photo | Street View

The Electric Theatre opened in 1909. Seating was provided on one floor, there was no balcony. The facade was dominated by a large arch which contained a half domed entrance.

It was taken over by Union Cinemas in 1935 and they in turn were taken over by Associated British Cinemas (ABC) in October 1937.

It was re-named the Palace Cinema from 1954 and closed on 12th April 1958 with Marlon Brando in “Sayanora”. It was demolished and the site has been re-developed for retail use.
