Palace Cinema

The Palace Cinema opened in 1921 and replaced the Electric Theatre on Edward Street, Stocksbridge. At some time later it was extended and a new projection room was added high up attached to the wall. The remains of the supports for the floor of this structure can be just seen at the right edge of the image. It was here that the young Reginald Dixon played piano to accompany the silent films long before he became famous for his skills on the organ.
