Air raids on Shields 1

The Queen's Theatre, South Shields was built in 1913 by W. T. Weir to the designs of Gibson & Stienlet and opened on the 4th of August that year. The Theatre was originally intended to be a playhouse called the Borough Theatre but the plans were changed and it was eventually built as a Cine-Variety Theatre called the Queen's with an auditorium capable of seating some 2,400 people.

The Theatre was destroyed by bombs on the night of the 9th of April 1941 after a performance of 'Laughter After Dark' and was subsequently demolished.
