A lost Liverpool cinema will turn its lights back on for the first time in over 60 years.
The Gaumont Palace first opened on the corner of Oakfield Road and St. Domingo Vale in Anfield December 21 1931, at what was the start of the golden age of cinema. Now, 91 years later, the cinema is set to reopen after being restored to its former glory with the help of a £25,000 crowdfunding campaign.
Ahead of the reopening on December 3, we decided to take a look back at the history of the much-loved cinema and what it used to look like in its heyday. Charlie Brown opened and managed the original cinema from 1931 to 1935, which was built on the site that of the former King's Hall cinema and billiard hall.
