Bob, I have already removed the street address and now it is noted in the introduction. Google still cannot map correctly. There is no way to rearrange the address on this site to have the Zip code after the Country name, its always before. Sorry about that.
Bob;
St. Helena, Ascension & Tristan de Cunha is the offical name of the ‘Country’ which these three islands form. They are a British Overseas Territory dependancy. Its a shame Google maps don’t recognise this.
Thanks for the link and history to the Ascension Island Heritage Society. The building is now used for community events. I found it by searching the internet!

The original facade is still there, hidden away. A couple of years ago I was speaking to the current operators, who were hoping to restore the theatre back to its original appearance. Sadly, that hasn’t happened yet……
