The list includes 'Salford's Sleeping Beauty' and Manchester’s oldest surviving theatre building
Five Greater Manchester theatres have been named as being 'at risk' of closure on as part of annual list, which campaigns for their revival.
The Greater Manchester venues featured on the list includes Ashton-under-Lyne’s only Grade II- listed, purpose-built theatre, Tameside Theatre, Ashton-under-Lyne. This building is of architectural and historical significance, illustrating the interwar fashion of adapting to cinema, and featuring 1930s Art Deco features.
The Grade II-listed music hall, Hulme Hippodrome, remains on the list too. Constructed for the Broadhead Circuit which operated 17 venues in the north-west of England, it made a significant contribution to working class entertainment, and campaigners what to see it restored to its former glory as a venue that serves the community in and around Hulme.
"We look forward to the day it will come off the at Risk register as we continue to work with the owners and Salford's Heritage Commission, with the help of the Theatres Trust, to develop a restoration plan for the building." The other three new additions, The Brunton in Musselburgh, The Harlequin in Redhill and Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre are all theatres that have been closed for more than a year due to the presence of the crumbling concrete Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete . The Bruton and Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre have been recommended for demolition due to the high costs of repairs, and a decision on the future of The Harlequin is imminent.
