Opened in 1939 with 1040 seats. Architect was a Mr Wilson, ARIBA.

Closed in the mid 1970s.

Later converted for amusements with some of the decoration covered up,

the

stalls floor levelled, and the foyer greatly remodelled.

It had lain

derelict since a devastating fire in 1985.

A selection of photos taken in 2005 surveying the burnt out interior are available here .

In April 2008 a demolition warrant was issued, but one of the three

original stained glass windows, featuring a prancing deer, was salvaged

by the local Building Heritage Trust. It is now safely in storage, and it is hoped to find this a new

home somewhere in the town.

The rest of the building has now been completely demolished. A gallery
