The Alcazar, also known as the Alcazar Cinematograph Theatre, was an entertainment venue in Fore Street, Edmonton.[1] It opened in 1913 by showing the film The Battle of Waterloo. In addition to a cinema, the theatre hosted concerts, roller skating, boxing, and wrestling. It could seat 1,700 people and had a separate dance hall and summer and winter gardens. It had a Moorish style front with balcony and verandah.The building was renovated in 1933 and sound added to the cinema.[1] It was badly damaged by a bomb in 1940 and again in 1944. The remains were demolished and the site redeveloped in the 1960s.[2] A mosaic in nearby Moree Way created by Art Start and local schoolchildren commemorates the Alcazar.[1][3] References1. ^1 2 [https://enfieldsociety.org.uk/newsletters/ESnews206.pdf "Historic buildings: Upper Edmonton"] by Stephen Gilburt in Enfield Society News, No. 206 (Summer 2017), pp. 6-7. 2. ^Alcazar Picture Theatre.
