This print takes us back in time to the year 1915, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of Sheffield. Standing tall and proud is the iconic Don Picture Palace cinema, located in West Bar. This magnificent establishment first opened its doors to eager moviegoers in 1912, becoming an instant sensation within the city. The grand architecture of the Don Picture Palace is truly awe-inspiring, with its ornate detailing and towering presence. Its marquee proudly displays a variety of advertisements for upcoming films, enticing passersby with promises of thrilling adventures and heartwarming stories. The vibrant posters add a splash of color to this otherwise monochromatic scene. For over four decades, this beloved cinema served as a hub for entertainment and escapism for countless Sheffield residents. Families would gather here on weekends, eagerly awaiting their turn to enter the magical world that awaited them inside those hallowed halls. Sadly, all good things must come to an end.

Yet even though it may no longer stand today, its legacy lives on through photographs like these - frozen moments that transport us back in time and remind us of the rich history embedded within our city's walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Sheffield City Archives' collection titled "Don Picture Palace cinema" we are reminded not only of a bygone era but also how vital places
