The Tower Cinemas were given this name as in 1865 a navigational light beacon stood on the hill behind the complex. The cinemas stand on the site of a coal mine, which opened in 1825, the first commercial coal mine in Australia.
On the official business card handed to me by the ‘operations manager’, when I was setting up my Cinema Theatre Association visit to New York in November 2007, has the name printed:
Christ United Church – The Palace Cathedral
