Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, The Picture Palace c1920. Ecclesfield is a town to the north of Sheffield. This cinema is a classic example of an early 'fleapit' cinema. The date on the top of the building proudly proclaims 1920. When this photograph was taken the cinema was showing a film called 'Get Thee Behind Me' (1918). If we look at the Street View image for this scene we see that the building on the right, previously the Earl of Arundel pub, is now an Indian restaurant. Alas, the magnificent cinema has been reduced to a car park.
