Title:	Detail of door handle at The Electra Palace, Fitzalan Square, which opened 11th February 1911. Closed on 28 July 1945 and reopened as Capital and Provincial News Theatre in September. Became Classic Cinema on 15 January 1962. Closed 24th November 198
Location:	Sheffield_City_Centre
Date Period:	1980-1999
Notes:	The Electra Palace opened in 1911 in Fitzalan square. The building became a Classic cinema, in 1962, was taken over by Cannon and finally closed in 1982. The Department of the Environment refused to list it as being of architectural or historic interest and a fire in 1984 stopped any hopes of saving it. The remains were demolished, and a new store development now stands on the sight.
