The Rescue of the National Picture Theatre



SPEAKER: Hilary Byers





Thursday, September 15 at 11.30,
former Stepney Station, Beverley Road




The National Civilian WW2 Memorial Trust has, for over 20 years, been working towards saving the remains of the National Picture Theatre cinema on Beverley Road in Hull, a structure which is Listed for its historic interest as the last ordinary civilian building in England surviving from WW2 in its bombed state.


Now at last some real progress is being made on preserving the structure, thanks to National Lottery players, Hull City Council and the Trust. Trustee Hilary Byers will talk about the early years of the cinema and the fateful night of 18th March 1941. She will bring you right up to date with progress, including recent work to stabilise the building, and will explain plans for the future. Perhaps you have photos or memories of the National Picture Theatre or Beverley Road? Bring
them along!
