Venue Comments

Opened in 1925 near the then bus terminus. In 1937 this venue was renamed the Ritz Gardens.

"Some time later, a theatre was built on the south-east corner of the intersection of Oxford St and Scarborough Beach Rd. New gardens were then opened diagonally across the intersection, beside Edinboro St. Both theatre and gardens now held 1000, and both closed in May 1960." (Bertrand 2001)
