My mum was the manageress at the Palace on Rhydings Street. I went to Ossy Tech opposite the Paladium, and adjacent to the Empire. Went regularly to both, and to the Empire in the early 60's when it was a dance place. The Royal pub was a nice place anmd had an Irish Landlord for years. My Uncle Roland almost lived in there.

Cyril Whittaker was (as said) the manager of both the Empire and the Paladium. Great days, and lots of fun, not to mention the fun "down the backs" in between the dancing!!
