On the South side of the Duke of Cornwall Hotel(at 52 Hannan Street was the Stadium). It is not clear when the Stadium was built, but it probably pre-dated the Cremorne Gardens, and certainly continued after that venue was built. The Cremorne Gardens opened on the north side of the hotel on 21st January 1907. It seems that, very soon after it opened, the venue was roofed, to become a hard-top. On 22nd May 1908, William Anderson’s Famous Dramatic company opened the Cremorne Theatre, with a live performance of “The Squatter’s Daughter”. The Stadium became the second Cremorne Gardens in(1924?). The Cremorne Theatre and Gardens closed in 1973 and was sold in 1975.
In the 1980’s and 1990’s it was the R.A.C.(Royal Automotive Club). The Cremorne Theatre started showing pictures again in the 1990’s, opening and closing several times. In the late-1990’s it became an indoor cricket and volleyball(beach?) and (other indoor sports?) stadium. Current use of Cremorne Gardens(Stadium) site unknown.
