Description:The Triangle Cinema, on the corner of Conybere Street and Gooch Street, was originally known as Pringle's Palace as it was owned by Ralph Pringle, a pioneer of the cinema trade. This view shows the Triangle in 1957.

Bernard Jackson talks about The Triangle:
"The Triangle had the best acoustics of any cinema they had and they tried to build them like it and they couldn’t. It was a complete triangle but there was one lot of seats top to bottom. You could roll a ball or bottle down. During the week the women would come out the pub, go into the cinema and have a sup then put the bottle on the floor. I paid two jam jars to get in".
