Buffer commented about Hippodrome Theatre on Jan 27, 2014 at 10:59 am

Was a public hall dating back to 1850 and became a cinema by 1916. L Jaffa intended to twin the Hippodrome but never got beyond Unit 1. Norman Jacobs took over in 1982 using a balcony only operation with the stalls converted into a café with slot machines.
