Above - The Ardwick Empire Theatre, Manchester - From a Postcard.

The Ardwick Empire Theatre was built in 1904 by the renowned Theatre Architect Frank Matcham. The Theatre was refurbished in 1935 and renamed the New Manchester Hippodrome. Not to be confused with the original Manchester Hippodrome which like the Ardwick Empire was built in 1904 but demolished in 1935.

The New Manchester Hippodrome, previously the Ardwick Empire, was itself eventually demolished in 1964.
