It opened on Boxing Day, 1910, without being licensed, and was subsequently fined £8. The projector was on a cement floor which collapsed two days later, and they had to close down. Source: The Stage, 2 February 1911. It’s not known when it re-opened – it next appears in on-line newspapers in September 1911.
