The organ was only on loan and was removed by its owner before the theatre closed. It is now in store. The original Compton was removed by Alfred Davies &Co, a local organ builder. Some parts were re-used but it is thought the majority of the instrument was scrapped.

A view from the stage. This shows the front extension to the circle (and the pillars which support it) and the rear of the two mini-cinemas which were created under the circle in 1974. There are two staircases on each side, which must lead lead to the front circle extension.
