Do you remember the Crystal Palace theatre?

David from Redwood

The Crystal Palace theatre stood in the north-west corner of Cathedral Square from it's opening in 1918 to its demolition in 1986. It initially showed silent films, but was upgraded to show "talkies" in 1929. During the early 1930s it became the "All-British Theatre", … View moreThe Crystal Palace theatre stood in the north-west corner of Cathedral Square from it's opening in 1918 to its demolition in 1986. It initially showed silent films, but was upgraded to show "talkies" in 1929. During the early 1930s it became the "All-British Theatre", showing only British films. 🇬🇧

The cinema was dwarfed by the neighbouring Government Life insurance built during the 1960s, and then in 1986 it was finally demolished to make way for the unremarkable "Crystal Plaza" shopping mall. Today, the site is part of the Te Pae complex; the iconic 32m tower stood roughly where the Cathedral Square entrance to Te Pae is today.

All of this was before my time, but it's been fascinating reading about how Cathedral Square was not only a public transport hub, a religious centre, but also an entertainment hub, with theatres all around the outside.

Hello, at some point between 10 am Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th 10:30am, I have lost my wedding ring. Gold with a unique pattern.
My Wife's ring is identical, and I'm quite sure these are the only two in New Zealand. There are no markings inside the ring.
possible place to have been found is Northlands Mall.
Between BNZ, and the car parks along the left hand side of the pedestrian crossing in the undercover carpark. not a valuable ring monetarily but personal and sentimental value.
