Winter Gardens Opera House 97 Church Street, Blackpool

1939 - The auditorium is in a stunning Art Deco style, similar to cinemas being built at that time. There are a series of troughs across the ceiling and down the side-walls which contain concealed lighting.

Seating is provided in orchestra stalls, dress circle and balcony levels. The proscenium is 45 feet wide and the fully equipped 60 feet deep stage can be used for full scale major productions. There are sixteen dressing rooms on five levels. It was equipped with a British Thomson-Houston(BTH) sound system. - Notes by Ken Roe
