West Yorkshire Cinemas and Theatres
Featuring Images from the Yorkshire Post
Peter Tuffrey New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
The industrial vitality of West Yorkshire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries gave rise to many theatres and cinemas, often graced with elegant architectural detail. Capturing their heyday in photographs from the archive of the Yorkshire Post, this survey takes in those that are still standing – the Grand in Leeds, Bradford’s magnificent Alhambra – as well as those such as the Carlton in Wakefield that have been demolished.
Product information
Full publisher description
Nobody could have predicted in the first half of the Twentieth century that 'going to the flicks' would be rapidly superseded in later years by television. Buildings of all sizes and descriptions - some having only existed for a relatively short time - quickly became redundant and have struggled for survival or an alternative use since the demise. In the heavy industrial areas of West Yorkshire particularly Bradford and Leeds, there was a great need for entertainment. And in some ways it was only natural that the new film industry should give rise to purpose-built cinemas across the entire region. Although theatre-going declined with the growth of the cinemas, it is pleasing to note that live theatre is still very much alive today in a number of the towns and cities covered here. The various developments of screen and stage in West Yorkshire have been admirably captured over the years by the Yorkshire Post's able photographers and featured in this book. Using a simple A to Z format Peter Tuffrey has made it quick and easy to examine the history - and in some cases find a picture - of a favourite cinema or theatre.
