The venue was located in the city centre and near the main train station.
It was opened in December 1928 as The Empire Theatre.
From 1950 to 1986 it was named as Gaumont Theatre before the name changed to The Mayflower/Mayflower Theatre.
The band would return here in September 1987 on the first UK 'Hysteria' tour.
