Key facts
about the Hippodrome
It was Grade II* listed by English Heritage in 1985.
It has not been in use since 2006, when the bingo hall closed.
Included in the Theatres Trust's register of Theatres at Risk from its inception in 2007—and number one each year since 2013.
It is in Historic England's highest at-risk category, as is the whole of the Old Town Conservation Area.
Footfall in Middle Street is very limited.
