The remains of the RMS Olympic, sitting in front of the old Palmers Dry Dock which was later put to use in the Second World War. Shortly after this picture was taken, Thos W Ward Ltd removed the RMS Olympic to Inverkeithing for final demolition and then commenced demolition of the old Palmers Yard and Aerial Gantries.

Pearl Cinema, designed by J. Fleming Davidson of Newcastle, it opened 21 November 1910. The last film shown was Swiss Family Robinson, at the end of December, 1962. It was a bingo hall when it burnt down.

I remember the last film shown at the Pearl was "The Vikings" starring Kirk Douglas.

Sorry, another typing error - the line should have read "last film advertised". At that I was copying from an edited text. I broke my own rule - stay with the sources. The original notes, at Discover North Tyneside, in North Shields Library, are more cautious. They list shows at the Pearl advertised in the Shields Weekly News up to 4 January 1963. The editor's own index includes only 4 references to the Pearl. The Sunday Sun 2 Dec 1960 reported the beginning of a tombola club, in addition to films. The Evening Chronicle 21 June 1966 noted that the Pearl was the 7th and last Wallsend cinema to close and convert to bingo; it lists the others by date. Halliwell's Film Guide states that The Vikings was made in 1958, so I would guess the Pearl wasn't a "first run" house. The Evening Chronicle 18 May 1971 reported the previous day's fire, which gutted the General Foam Products store, in the late Pearl. It noted the part played by the cinema in the career of Miss England, Iris Waller.
