A small suburban cinema with a very grand facade opened 2nd November 1914. It was part of a local chain of cinemas called Hull Picture Playhouses Ltd., and the West Park Palace with its seating divided between stalls and circle, led an uneventful life until closure in 1959.
It has gone through a variety of uses since then – a bingo hall, snooker club and large public house but is currently closed and up for sale.
A return to film usage is not on the cards.

In 1935, after the collapse of William Morton’s theatres and cinemas Tom Bogue, Morton’s son-in-law, artistic designer and manager of the Majestic, became licensee of the West Park Cinema. Bogue retired in 1943, aged 83, after losing his wife and his home in an air-raid.
