Electric Palace Cinema, Historic cinema in Harwich, England
The Electric Palace Cinema maintains its original projection room, silent screen, and decorative facade on King's Quay Street in Harwich.
Opening in 1911 with a showing of The Battle of Trafalgar and The Death of Nelson, the cinema required an investment of £1,500 and 18 weeks of construction.
The cinema functions as a community center, presenting regular jazz concerts, folk music performances, and both classic and contemporary film screenings.
The facility accepts private event bookings, including weddings and functions, while offering newsletter subscriptions to inform visitors about upcoming screenings and events.
The original Crossley gas engine, which supplied electricity to the cinema until 1925, remains in its original location within the building.
