Located in the south Manchester district of Chorlton-cum-Hardy at the corner of Barlow Moor Road and Malton Avenue. The Palais De Luxe Cinema opened in May 1914. Around 1929 it was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system. In around 1946 it was re-named Palace Cinema.
It was always independently operated and closed on 4th December 1957 with Jack Palance in "The Lonely Man" and Fernando Lamas in "Lost Treasure of the Amazon".
It was converted into a Tesco supermarket, and last operated as a Co-op supermarket which closed in 2019. The front of the building has been removed. Plans were passed in February 2025 to demolish the building to be replaced by flats and retail.

This must have been the first cinema I ever visited in Chorlton and I was so sad when some friends and me arrived on our bikes at the rear to watch the partial demolition. I think we were aged about 9 or 10.
