Ossy had 3 - Palladium. Empire and Palace
The Palace was near the bottom of Rhyddings St opposite the mill. There are new houses there now. It was owned and run by Mr Saporiti. He used to turn the heating up so he could sell more icecream, and was at the door as you arrived and left. My parents had 4 balcony front row seats booked for us every Saturday night. That was in the days before television.
