MELROSE PICTURE GARDENS later the Prince of Wales theatre - (1911-1935) Murray Street.
A 2000 seat open-air theatre, the Melrose Gardens was built by Thomas Coombe and opened on 11 February 1911 under the management of film exhibitor T.J. West. After Harry Rickards staged a season of vaudeville there in December the venue operated as both a film and vaudeville house until West moved his operations into the suburbs in 1914. Various vaudeville managements, including the Fullers and Durham Marcel, leased the Melrose until Coombe built the Prince of Wales picture house in its place in 1922 - Contributed by Greg Lynch -
