Tameside Hippodrome, Grade II listed theatre in Ashton-under-Lyne, England
The Tameside Hippodrome features a double-height auditorium with Art Deco design elements and intricate plasterwork throughout its interior spaces.
William Henry Broadhead constructed this 2,000-seat theatre in 1904, incorporating specialized facilities for creating colored glass signs within the building.
The venue transformed from a music hall to a cinema and back to a theatre, reflecting the evolution of entertainment preferences in Greater Manchester.
The theatre building stands on Oldham Road at the intersection with Cotton Street East, accessible from central Ashton-under-Lyne by public transport.
The 1933 renovation replaced the original two-balcony configuration with a single balcony, introducing an advanced Compton 3 manual organ system.
