The Palladium Cinema Durham

If you would like to see some excellent pictures of a cinema once graced by generations of miners, shopkeepers, mothers etc. here is how to do it: Using Google put the two words - Durham Palladium -  into the pages for UK. It is the top page. The nostalgia might over power one or two of you.

You have limited time to do this so it is best to do it straight away!

  2. Hullo Paul - it is the Claypath area of Durham City. I think this cinema opened in 1929.I am not sure what the area looks like now.

  3. Oh right thanks, I did think that's the area it may be, the posting on the forum is dated 2007, which threw me as I don't recall any buildings like the ones shown looking like they do in the photos. Maybe they were taken earlier.

    Cheers
