Palace history
May I through the pages of The Stage, ask readers for any memories or information concerning the recent history of the Palace Theatre Plymouth and for any information on the adjoining hotel - the Grand Western Hotel, which was purpose built for patrons of the theatre at the same time as the theatre.

Up until 1978, the theatre’s history is quite well documented and it is from that year to the present day that I would like any information.
The theatre and hotel are both dark at the moment and with the local authority instigating a regeneration programme in the area, one wonders what the future holds for this building.
