Title
The Palace & Hippodrome, Halifax - DPC00333
Description
The Palace Theatre and Hippodrome in Halifax was referred to as the 'sweetest theatre in the north' as a result of the methods used in building it when, during bitterly cold weather, quantities of sugar were mixed with the mortar to prevent it from freezing. It was built in 1903 and was a popular place of entertainment for many years featuring many of the best-known artists of the time, including stars such as Arthur Askey, Henry Hall and his orchestra, Sandy Powell, Reginald Dixon and many others. In 1959 it was finally closed and demolished to make room for new offices and shops. From Weaver to Web.
