Hippodrome

Built as a temperance hall for concerts, meetings etc, it was renamed Hippodrome early in the twentieth century when music hall performances were given. It was converted to a cinema in the late 1920s, for which use the auditorium was altered. It has a decent, chapel-like, two-storey stucco front with a pedimented gable to a slated roof. The ground floor is channelled with an altered central entrance of vaguely Po-mo character. Five windows at first-floor, the centre one glazed and pedimented, the others blind.
