Ladywood Palace

945

Opened about 1883 in conjunction with the Steam Clock Tavern. Little information is known of this hall as it did not advertise in the local press. About 1894 became the Ladywood Palace and first appears in Kelly’s Directories in that year. In April 1910 it opened as the Ladywood Picture Palace, the newspaper advertisement announcing the venue as the ‘Late Steam Clock’ as opposed to the Ladywood Palace. Closed in 1914 on opening of another nearby cinema in Ledsham Street.
