Venue Comments
Venue Operation Dates: Further Information The Windsor theatre and gardens opened in 1937. Around 1968 the gardens were closed and extensive renovations were done to the theatre. The venue survived the crisis of the sixties by becoming an art-movie house, was restored after a fire in the seventies, and was closed for some time from 24 September 1983. I987 it was bought by Cyril Watson, who also owned the New Oxford Theatre in Leederville. He built the Windsor 2 next door, on the site of the former gardens, and the new twin cinema was officially opened on 17 November 1988.
