A plan for the reconstruction of the Empress Theatre showing the Gallery, by the architect Andrew Mather and dated 6th December 1930. The rebuilding in the Art Deco style cost £150,000 and the theatre reopened in October 1931, being used for variety, musical and other plays, revues and 'even talkies'. Later it was converted to use as a Bingo Hall, but was demolished in the late 1990s and replaced by a block of flats, despite a campaign to save it.From Drainage Records
