Palladium Bus stop to change its name
Think I have recently read that the bus stop on Union Road, known as "The Palladium" is to have its name change to "Ossy Mills" as this is a popular venue these days. The Palladium of course no longer exists, but .. when it did, what an brilliant place it must have been.
The "cinema hall" was erected around 1920, built on the site of some old delapidated cottages on Union Road, facing the Technical School. Built to accommodate 275 folk in the balcony and seating for 1000 in the main body, just think of the stories connected with this hall.
Sketch of the cinema which appeared in the local papers in 1920.
