EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant era of 1930s Leeds, capturing a moment in time at the iconic Kingsway Cinema on Harrogate Road. The image, taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, showcases the grandeur of this art deco masterpiece. On that fateful day of August 24th, 1937, moviegoers eagerly gathered outside the cinema's impressive exterior. A tramline runs alongside it, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The bustling town centre provides a lively backdrop as people make their way towards this cultural hub. Intriguingly, we catch a glimpse of Pepper with Jane Withers on display at the cinema. This film must have been quite popular during its time and drew crowds from far and wide. It is fascinating how movies can bring communities together and create lasting memories. The photograph itself is a testament to the power of photography as an art form. Its composition captures both architectural beauty and human interaction effortlessly. Preserved by Leeds Library and Information Service for decades, this image allows us to step into history and appreciate not only the cinematic experience but also the rich heritage embedded within these walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured in monochrome tones, we are reminded once again that photographs possess an extraordinary ability to transport us through time while preserving moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
