Place of Worship
SITEDESC
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Built in 1862. Out of use in 1907. Seated 800. On the third edition of 1919 it is a picture theatre. The chapel reopened as a picture house on 13 April 1908. It was owned by Audrey Appleby (USA Picture Company) who had owned the Olympia on Northumberland Road which had burnt down in 1907. Plans for the conversion were drawn up by W.H. Knowles and the picture hall was called the Star. The horseshoe-shaped gallery of the chapel was retained and there were around 700 seats. Northern Gossip magazine wrote "the beautiful surroundings, perfect attention and the conveniently serried rows of tip-up chairs make a visit to this place quite a pleasure". The Star also held amateur singing competitions. In the early years it showed locally-filmes events like football matches or the Gosforth Races. In March 1911 Sidney Bacon took over the Star. He planned to alter and redecorate it, with a new entrance on Northumberland Street, but it never happened. Bacon let the hall to Edward Cant and John Grantham, who replaced the tip-up chairs with forms in 1912-13. The Star was renamed the Apollo around May 1913. It closed in 1914. W.H. Bacon of Olympia proposed to use the building as a 'Cinema Military Target Shooting Gallery' where potential soldiers could be trained. The cinema was then used by Chapman's the furnishers.
