ONE of Plymouth's most historic buildings could come back into use, if campaigners get their way.
The Palace Theatre, Union Street, which has been empty for more than 15 years, has been cited as the top building of public concern in a list compiled by one of the city's MPs for the third consecutive year.
It remains the key structure on a buildings-at-risk list launched by Sutton and Devonport MP Luke Pollard in 2022, and now updated for 2024.
Mr Pollard says the city must reclaim pride in its built heritage.
The Grade II-listed Palace Theatre opened in 1898, originally as a music hall, and has since been a nightclub, theatre, bingo hall, and dance academy. Designed in the Flemish Renaissance style with an art nouveau interior and nautical-themed plasterwork, art nouveau tiles decorate the outside, depicting the Spanish Armada.
