Description

The Windsor Theatre opened in 1930 and closed in 1960. The building was later converted to the Bearwood Ice Rink, which closed in 1973, and was used as a nightclub between 1980 and 1982. It then became the Sandwell Snooker Leisure Centre, and by 2017 had become a bar operating under the building's original name. This photograph is likely a copy; the original photographer is not known.
