EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Palace Theatre, located on Attercliffe Road in Sheffield, during its redecoration in 1930. Originally known as The Alhambra, this historic venue opened its doors on January 3rd, 1898 as a vibrant Variety Theatre. Over time, it underwent a transformation and was renamed to the Palace Theatre at the turn of the century. The image showcases the exquisite Moorish style that adorned the interior after its renovation for cinema use. Elaborate arches and intricate patterns create an enchanting atmosphere within these walls. One can only imagine the excitement and anticipation felt by audiences who gathered here to enjoy films or live performances. Despite being closed on July 1st, 1955, this photograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that once thrived within these hallowed halls. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries and now housed in Sheffield City Archives, this original print is a precious glimpse into Sheffield's past. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also acknowledge how places like The Alhambra-turned-Palace Theatre have shaped our collective history. May it serve as a reminder of our city's vibrant entertainment scene and inspire future generations to cherish their local cultural landmarks.
