Tameside Hippodrome
By April plans had been submitted to Ashton Borough Council to build a 2,000 capacity theatre on the corner bordered by Oldham Road and Cotton Street East.[2] Even when one of his daughters (Annie) married in 1902, by which time he owned the Royal Osborne, the Metropole, the Grand Junction and the Hulme Hippodrome, with a total capacity across all four theatres exceeding 10,000, his occupation on the marriage certificate is "Decorator".The decor was changed to the Art Deco style and a central pediment added to the front of the building.The architects for this re-design were Drury & Gomersall of Manchester.In 2009 the Tameside Hippodrome was recognised by Historic England as being worthy of Grade II listing " The Tameside Hippodrome retains its double-height auditorium undivided, and with its particular Art Deco scheme substantially intact, retaining a rich period character which evokes the inter-war glamour and escapism of the genre.[8] In 2021 the TMBC listed the building for disposal and in 2022 indicated that their hope was that it would be re-opened as a theatre by a suitable operator as part of the planned redevelopment of the area.
