I believe that architects was Hickton and Farmer of Walsall which is near by. The Building has many design features that Harry Farmer employed in his cinema work.
The Electric Palace has undergone a few changes in the last year. It seems it is under new management, and is by all sense and purpose now called ‘ Cannock Cinema ’(although there are still various signs that read ‘ Electric Palace ’. Screen One and Two have had new seats installed ( I say new, but they show signs of wear and tear so are Second hand, but still better than the originals). Screen Two has a much bigger screen size than before, and both screens have a decent surround sound set up. Screen Three was never really used. The old management had ideas of kids parties or small presentations in that small area. The small screen and ceiling projector are there, but the whole room is now a storage facility.
Now as it approaches its Centenary in April 2014 this Cinema is surely in the worst condition that its ever been in its whole life, a shadow of its former self.
