Runcorn Guardian - Tuesday 13 December 1910 NEW PAVILION AT NORTHWICH. DISTINGUISHED COMPANY AT OPENING. MR. JERSEY DE KNOOP AND PARTY PRESENT. Northwich is now well catered for in the matter of amusements, thanks to the enterprise of Messrs. Hamilton and Hughes of Widnes and Runcorn, the town can boast of an entertainment pavilion built on the most modern lines. The structure is situate in Hayhurst-street, on land adjacent to Messrs. Burgess Bros’ implement depot, and both externally and internallyit reflects great credit upon the architect. The front is most imposing whilst inside every possible arrangement has been made for the comfort and convenience of patrons. The building is well ventilated, the seating accommodation for 1,000, is admirable, and the lighting by electricity, made on the premises, is on most elaborate lines.
For the formal opening on Thursday evening,………etc.
Curiously, just to confuse the issue. The Pavilion, Northwich was open by 10th October 1910, and the Lessees were Hamilton and Hughes.
In ‘The Stage’ on 17 June 1947 there was a display advert for the Denville Players which had repertory companies at several theatres from Guernsey to Scotland, and was head quartered at the Pavilion Theatre, Northwich. The advert described the latter as “this theatre converted from a cinema”.
