Lady Star Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I was talking to a friend who is Sheffield born and bred, and he was telling me how Sheffield once had a 'Chinese Theatre', modelled on the American one, in Attercliffe where the skate rink is today... I have searched the internet, but can't find a article or a photo - anyone else recall this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the skate rink is pretty new? It was built in the time that I was living in Sheffield, and there wasn't anything there that I recall before? I mean where the new rink is, in Attercliffe near the arena... http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=s13127 This is where the rink is today - Just can't work out where a Chinese Cinema is on this photo...

Or do you mean that it was a bollywood picture house at the end of it's life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
