ABC Leased the cinema in 1929 for 10 years

In the early 1960’s, when still called the Essoldo, one of Rotherham’s amateur operatic societies – The Steel, Peech & Tozer Operatic Society, cleaned all the backstage areas and redecorated the dressing rooms and produced ‘Carousel’ on the Essoldo stage, as they found the new Civic Theatre’s stage too small. I also recall the ‘Jimmy Clitheroe Show’ playing for a week at the Essoldo, bringing live theatre back to the building after many years as a cinema.
