History
The Victoria Theatre, Salford, is a theatre in the Lower Broughton area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The theatre officially opened 10 December 1900 and was last in use as a bingo hall in 2008.
In November 1901, less than a year after opening, the theatre began showing films and in 1913 it was granted a cinema licence
Following the cinema's closure in July 1958 the theatre was used as a clothing / furniture store, After a brief unsuccessful attempt to run the venue as a bingo hall in 1973 the theatre closed again. It then remained dark until the 1980s when a second attempt was successful and the bingo hall remained open until 2008

I know this place has been done time and time again, but we never got round to it until now. And with the building being bought this month, I guess getting chance in the future is uncertain.
We were really glad we made the effort. Although the place is pretty trashed now, it’s no way near as bad as we expected it to be.

Not bad considering how long it's been left to rot! Nice photographs in poor light and an enjoyable report to read through.

Worked in 1899 and outlined by Bertie Crewe, the Victoria Theater in Salford is Grade II recorded. This structurally vital venue has a fine earthenware façade with much recolored glass and an excellent and personal theater including luxuriously looked over plasterwork. There are generous stays of wooden sub-organize apparatus including an entire grave trap. The performance center is incorporated inside the best three of Salford's own rundown of notable structures esteemed to be in danger.
