The Abbeydale PH opened its doors for the first time this week in 1920. The first film shown was "The Call of the Road". In the film, the role of Lady Ullswater was played by Adeline Hayden Coffin. Sheffielders were spared the newspaper headline of:

"Coffin to open at new Picture House".

Can they crowdfund for Abbeydale PH? I’d be happy to give a bit.

Sheffield can't allow this building to fail - or worse, to be demolished. Let's pool ideas to help - what can we do by way of campaigning, fund-raising, whatever? As editor of 'Totley Independent' community magazine, I'd be happy to canvas support. I'm sure the Dore magazine would, too. Plus Nether Edge, as you must already know.
