Opened in 1935, to seat 2400.
Full height fly tower and large stage. Bingo until 1995; since when it
was derelict until demolition in 2001. The original facade was much
taller, being reminiscent
of a skyscraper. Metal cladding dates from bingo conversion.

appearing around the auditorium.

This view shows the layout of the foyer in relation
to the wide auditorium, and the fly tower in the background.
The pictures below of the demolition work below show a little
colour decoration remaining on the side of one interior wall.
