A show remembering a lost Wirral theatre is coming to the borough next week.
The Argyle Theatre, which was a fixture on Birkenhead's Argyle Street for more than a century, never reopened after it was struck in the Liverpool Blitz of September 1940. The building was eventually knocked down in 1973, but was once dubbed 'The Cradle of the Stars', playing host to names such as Charlie Chaplin, George Formby and 'Soldier's Sweetheart' Gertie Gitana.
A new exhibition about the theatre launched earlier this month at the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum, in Oxton. Now, Heswall Musical Society will take to the stage in 'The Argyle Remembered', to tell the story of the Argyle Theatre in song and dance.
