I used to live on Moorcroft st just over the road from the Palace cinema.I have many happy memories of going to the bughut as it was affectionetely known.The cinema closed around 1958 when a lot of houses were due for demolition in the surrounding area and whole families were being re-housed,this probably had a bad effect on the cinema attendances at the time.Bingo was now big time and it eventually became a bingo hall,snooker hall and furniture place. The building became derelict for many years and it was demolished around 2002,I managed to salvage a brick from the site just for old times sake.I would love to share many more memories which I have of the old Palace"the bughut" cinema on Ashton rd Droylsden, Phil.
I still havent found a decent photo of the palace cinema .
