Opened in 1894 and hailed as ‘Matcham’s masterpiece’ after designer Frank Matcham, the Grand Theatre was built in just nine months at a cost of £20,000.
The theatre opened with a production of Hamlet with Wilson Barrett in the starring role.
The programme was printed on pure silk and perfumed with ‘Tower Bouquet’ by a chemist in Church Street.
