Art Deco Gaumont Palace Theatre/Cinema/Bingo Hall, Corporation Street

This Art Deco building was designed in 1932 by WT Benslyn, with a capacity of 1275 people. The Gaumont Palace had a large stage, 6.5 by 22.5 metres, with accompanying fly tower, and 11 dressing rooms. Later it became a cinema before being converted to a Mecca bingo hall. Other than making the floor level and converting the stage to a bar, the auditorium and foyer are otherwise little altered. Outside there is a modern canopy but the original one remains above. It is Grade 2 listed. On the day this photo was taken the bingo hall revert back to a theatre for a concert, the first since it became a cinema.
