Latest news is that the LTOT Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust is looking to install the ex Davenport Compton theatre organ into the Theatre Royal Hyde. This is really exciting news which I hope comes off.
The Oxford was used as a nightclub called ‘Hiccups’ until the 1970’s. After lying empty for a number of years, the site was then purchased in the early 1980’s by Morrisons supermarkets and the cinema was demolished. A petrol station now stands on the site.
I finally found an excellent photograph
