_Hyde Park Picture House, Leeds



_"Despite the outbreak of war in August 1914, the Hyde Park Picture House was built and opened ready for business on the 7th November 1914. The pages of the Yorkshire Evening Post were almost enitrely devoted to news of the war but a small advert announced the opening of the new Picture House. It proudly proclaimed itself to be "The Cosiest in Leeds" and to this day this is a title we try our best to live up to."

And it does SO well, such a lovely place to spend the eve of New Years Day - curled up in the cosy red velvet seats of this 'antique cinema' with 6 great friends, a large cup of tea and the new Coen Brothers film 'Burn After Reading'

_I'm a happy boy this evening.
