The open air theatre, named the Savoy, adjoined the Strand and opened around early 1939 and was apparently only open during the warmer months of the year.
In 1952,the Strand was renovated and according to an article in the North Western Courier newspaper in January 1952, both the Strand and the Savoy had been fitted with the “latest in British projection and sound equipment” at this time.
If bad weather, such as rain or a dust storm affected the outdoor Savoy, the patrons were moved over to the Strand to continue their evenings entertainment.
The Strand was built on the site if an older theatre that burnt down. On 9th June, 1928, the mayor opened the new circle which had recently been added to the auditorium.
