    The Palladium Cinema Hockley Picture House

    Hello everyone, I live near the Hockley flyover at soho hill and I always go past the Palladium in its sorry state. Does anyone have any background information on it (also when it opened or closed) and it would be really nice if anyone has got any internal pictures of it in use. Does anyone...
