Back to Cinemas  

City PalaceRenamed the Lounge 80-81, Fore Street

In April 1912, the City Pictures Co. converted Shephard & Co, a grocer's shop, next to the Chevalier (Hogs Head) into the City Palace, a cinema which could seat 380. It was renamed the Lounge in the 1930's when Cinephone sound was installed. 

The last film to be shown was A Midsummer Night's Dream with Victoria Hopper on 19th December 1937. After that is was converted back into a shop, only to be lost in the blitz.
