This is a photo of the Picturedrome.
The original seating capacity was for 799. More on the history and a small exterior photo here: http://www.picturedrome.net/cinema_history.htm
The cinema was built by the Bamforth company [who produced not only postcards but were the Hollywood of England during the early part of the 20th century – they used the cinema to show their own films which were sold all over the world]. The last time I was there they had a wonderful display of Bamforth cards. Terry Ladlow
Everytime me and the missus go to Holmfirth we always have a good look at this gem. It’s a real eye catcher!
