My grandfather was the restaurateur at the Empire Restaurant in the 1911 census for Dunraven Street.

Thank you for your comment, it's interesting to hear about the personal stories behind the images on People's Collection Wales, Diolch / Thank you, Graham Davies, Online Curator, Amgueddfa Cymru / National Museum Wales

Further to my comment on 12/09/2011 I also have a silk programme from the 'Grand Opening' of the the Empire Theatre of Varieties on Monday November 15th 1909 together with a lifetime pass for my grandfather 'Harry Bolton and any member of Family to any performance in perpetuity'. I can send you copies if you wish. (My email is [email protected])

I remember watching many films, musicals, and pantomimes at The Empire. I remember the sweet shop next door as well.. I watched it being demolished, and Woolworths being built in it's place.
