Background

History

The Victorian theatre was opened on 30 May 1900 and features a plaque at the main entrance to mark the event. It features a proscenium arch of art nouveau Doulton tiles by W.J. Neatby, depicting two pre-Raphaelite figures which face east and west, as the theatre faces true north and south. Originally, the theatre had a sprung dance floor made from maple and a full sized orchestra pit, and was used for both shows and dances. So that films could be shown in the theatre a projection room was added to the back of the building in 1920 housing at least two movie projectors.
