The Theatre was opened on June 22 1932 by the then Duke of York. Reginald New and CH Trevor demonstrated the latest type of Compton unit organ in the opening recital and the organ was recorded at 78rpm by Reginald New, Leslie James and Bruce Wendell.
The theatre is now called the 'Broadway Theatre.

This a totally original Compton and was designed as a dual-purpose organ which could be also be used as a classical instrument.

Restoration is now completed and the organ now sounds superb in the recently restored art deco theatre.
Regular concerts are planned and it is hoped that the organ will be used for a variety of purposes, including silent film shows, as the 'Broadway' is now fully equipped as a cinema. In fact it will be featured as it was originally intended as an organ for all occasions.

The first concert after restoration was hosted by Peter Hammond and featured Simon Gledhill and 'The New Foxtrot Serenaders' with Peter also playing piano and took place on Sunday 8th March 2009.
