After closure in the 1950’s, the Palace Cinema became the Top Hat Club, owned and operated by comedian Bernard Manning. Bingo then opened in the building, before being replaced as the Live Venue. Manchester City Council along with the Fire Service objected to the club staying open in 1977 due to the perilous state of the building. It re-opened, briefly, in 1978 as the New Electric Circus, but the damage to the business had been done and it closed once more, the builsding was demolished in early 1980.
