On its opening on 29th August 1898 the owners of the new Empire Theatre boasted that it was one of the finest Variety Theatres in the country, with all the latest improvements, including Electric Light, a Sliding Roof, and a Fireproof Curtain.
The Theatre was restructured in 1931 so that it was able to exhibit Film as well as regular Variety but unlike so many Theatres of its day this one managed to carry on throughout the 1950s putting on Variety and Concerts with all the big musical names of the period.
