Last surviving gaslit cinema in world to reopen in Leeds
Exclusive: £4.8m refurbishment, which has taken eight years, will include extension to building, restored interior and 50-seat second screen.
When Hyde Park Picture House first opened its doors to the public shortly before the first world war, women were at the mercy of groping men, who used the darkness as a cover to carry out attacks.
It was such a problem that the owner of the Leeds cinema installed gas lamps in the auditorium in the hope of deterring would-be assailants.
One hundred and nine years later, as it reopens to the public on 30 June after a long-awaited £4.8m refurbishment, Hyde Park is thought to be the only surviving gaslit cinema in the world.
The Hyde Park Picture House is a cinema and Grade II listed building in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is due to reopen on 30 June following £4m restoration and modernisation programme. Built by Thomas Winn & Sons, it originally opened in1914 and still retains many original features, such as an ornate balcony and external box office, and is the only remaining gas lit cinema in the United Kingdom.

Last surviving gaslit cinema in world to reopen in Leeds
Exclusive: £4.8m refurbishment, which has taken eight years, will include extension to building, restored interior and 50-seat second screen.
When Hyde Park Picture House first opened its doors to the public shortly before the first world war, women were at the mercy of groping men, who used the darkness as a cover to carry out attacks.
It was such a problem that the owner of the Leeds cinema installed gas lamps in the auditorium in the hope of deterring would-be assailants.
One hundred and nine years later, as it reopens to the public on 30 June after a long-awaited £4.8m refurbishment, Hyde Park is thought to be the only surviving gaslit cinema in the world.
The Hyde Park Picture House is a cinema and Grade II listed building in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is due to reopen on 30 June following £4m restoration and modernisation programme. Built by Thomas Winn & Sons, it originally opened in1914 and still retains many original features, such as an ornate balcony and external box office, and is the only remaining gas lit cinema in the United Kingdom.

Last surviving gaslit cinema in world to reopen in Leeds
Exclusive: £4.8m refurbishment, which has taken eight years, will include extension to building, restored interior and 50-seat second screen.
When Hyde Park Picture House first opened its doors to the public shortly before the first world war, women were at the mercy of groping men, who used the darkness as a cover to carry out attacks.
It was such a problem that the owner of the Leeds cinema installed gas lamps in the auditorium in the hope of deterring would-be assailants.
One hundred and nine years later, as it reopens to the public on 30 June after a long-awaited £4.8m refurbishment, Hyde Park is thought to be the only surviving gaslit cinema in the world.
The Hyde Park Picture House is a cinema and Grade II listed building in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is due to reopen on 30 June following £4m restoration and modernisation programme. Built by Thomas Winn & Sons, it originally opened in1914 and still retains many original features, such as an ornate balcony and external box office, and is the only remaining gas lit cinema in the United Kingdom.
