THE GRANADA THEATRE GREENWICH
-oOo-
The theatre was opened in September 1937 and was equipped with a Wurlitzer Theatre Organ (3 manuals, 8 ranks with clarinet and vox) and full stage facilities. Once again Donald Thorne played the Organ at the opening and fitted The Building of the Theatre in Rhyme film to a medley of tunes-of-the-day, as he had at the Granada Theatre North Chaem.
The theatre closed in 1968 and was converted into a Granada Social Club. After the theatre closed, the organ was sold and it is now in storage and being restored in Leicestershire. Alas, I have no further information to offer about it.
