The Elysium Theatre - Swansea - 2015

[Lenston]

History

A very impressive high fronted building at the top end of Swansea High Street just seconds away from the main line station. The Elysium Cinema opened on 11th April 1914 as a 900 seat single screen Cinema in a building which was partly used as the Dock Workers Hall.

It was designed by the architectural firm Ward & Ward of the Strand, London. It closed as a cinema in 1960 and went over to use as a bingo hall, which had closed by 1994.

Thanks for looking
