Palace Cinema

Located in Great Bridge, near Tipton, Staffordshire, on the corner of Slater Street and Great Bridge, The Palace Cinema was originally built as an old hall, believed to have been an Odd Fellows' Hall. The main hall, which could seat around 750 people, ran alongside Great Bridge with a foyer on the corner of Slater Street and an entrance in Slater Street. Films were being shown there before the end of 1910. In the late-1920’s the cinema was acquired by the Cyril Joseph Circuit, who ran Storer Pictures. It was equipped with a British Thomson-Houston(BTH) sound system.

In 1958 the cinema was purchased by Vincent Wareing. Sadly it closed on the 16th April, 1960, at a time when there was a vast decline in cinema audiences. The last film was ‘Valley Of Fury’, starring Victor Mature. Where the cinema stood is now a row of shops.
