Palladium Cinema

Built in 1858 as the Temperance Hall, in around 1900, it was re-named Hippodrome Theatre, and as a music hall, films were shown. By 1918, it had new owners and was re-named Palladium Cinema. The building has a chapel-like appearance, with a two-storey stucco front, with a pedimented gable.

In the late-1920’s, the building was given a new look, with rebuilding being undertaken internally. The proscenium was 35 feet wide, the stage 25 feet deep and there were three dressing rooms.

The Palladium Cinema was closed in the early 1970’s and converted into an independent bingo club, and remains in this use in 2009.
