Longridge Palace

The Palace opened as the Music Hall, adapted by local builder and entrepreneur Joseph Fletcher from a workshop. Two-storey building in local stone with facings and attic. The stage had flys, and there were dressing rooms built below-stage. This area remains today, as do the original emergency gas light fittings. Nothing otherwise remains of the original interior. With short intervals as both a skating rink and as a bingo hall, the Palace survived until 1976 when, under new management, it was run successfully as full-time cinema.
