Summary Opened in 1898, the Royalty Theatre was situated between Market Street and Cheapside in Morecambe town centre. With a capacity of 1140, the opulent interiors were designed by the leading theatre architect, Frank Matcham. Audiences were treated to a programme of plays, light opera and repertory theatre. Arguably more high-brow entertainments than those plied by some of the resort's other theatres. The Royalty was converted to a cinema in the 1950s and was demolished to make way for the Arndale Shopping Centre in the 1970s. All trace of the building has gone. Or has it? LuneTube goes in search of another of Morecambe's lost theatres.
