My earliest memory of the 'Palace' was as the Julian Swift furniture store, however my father told me as a young boy he would occasionally have the job of collecting the feature film reels from the station for his elder brother who was employed as a film projectionist at the Palace. He would also relate how his mates and him would ' mind' visiting celebrities cars for some coppers. Thanks for the video. Peter Alcock
It’s a mixed blessing.In heritage spaces you can’t hang a picture without getting an environmental review study or spend 3 years getting council to approve changes.Plus those old buildings are a builders nightmare.
Hi Phillip just started watching your vlogs . they're brilliant. My auntie had the shop next to the Palace I spent a lot of time there in the 50's and sixties. I was born in Cook street went to the Church school in beaconsfield and then whiston central . all now gone , so many buildings of historic value knocked down
Hi Jeffrey, glad you are enjoying the vids! The shop next to the Picture Palace......is that the one that had a parrot (African Macaw) in the corner as you went in?
