Hi, new to this blog.I have a relative Percy Hayward who was managing a Sheffield cinema in 1939. He was living in Darnell with his wife May who was the cinema’s cashier. I am wondering if any of you knowledgeable souls know of him and which cinema he might have been managing. He lived on Elmham Rd in the 1930’s through until his death in the 1970’s.
Grand opening ad posted.
The architect was William Carter Fenton (1861-1959). Alderman and Lord Mayor of Sheffield. Former Corporation Chief Building and Architectural Surveyor before establishing the architectural practice of Hall and Fenton.
Now in use as a storage facility (July 2013). Worryingly the interior was said to be stripped and re-plastered.
