Palace Theatre, Kilmarnock

The Palace theatre is located at the junction of London Road and Green Street. The West facade of the building overlooks Sturrock Street.

This site was once part of a public bleaching green, hence the street name 'Green Street', and subsequently was a fish market before the decision was made to build a Corn Exchange.

The Corn Exchange cost a total of £6,600 to construct; £6,000 came from a joint-stock company and the additional £600 was raised by public subscription and was earmarked for the erection of the Albert Tower in memory of the recently deceased Prince Consort.
