The Palace Theatre closed in 1958 and was pulled down about three years later - just before the Empire Theatre on Newgate Street which was closed and demolished in 1963.

Thanks for the links and the memories too. Yes I now recall G.H.Elliott the Chocolate Coloured Coon. I have very fond memories of him and can see him now singing on stage. We went to the theatre often and I loved it. I know this site is for family research but things like this just bring back happy memories so thank you so much.
