What is recorded here
Edinburgh, Abbeymount, Palace Brewery began as a 19th-century brewery before becoming a 20th-century cinema, so the same walls may have held both fermenting barley and projected light. That change suggests a neighbourhood busy enough to drink, gather and watch stories after dark. The exact boundary between those uses is no longer visible, but the name still carries both lives.
