Seating 800 people it was the chief theatrical and social venue in the town. The gallery together with decorative ironwork supporting columns still exists, as do the upper columns and other original features. It is a unique cultural and historical asset of national importance. The owner of the building was kind enough to allow me to view the theatre this week and it is an amazing, atmospheric space that links present-day Ramsbottom residents with their forebears from 145 years ago. The theatre is in a dilapidated state, having not been used since at least 1944 but it exerts a magic that is indescribable.
