Burnley Mechanics 4022

            Burnley, Mechanics Theatre. Opened as the Mechanics Institute in 1855, and designed by James Green. It was enlarged in 1888 to the design of William Waddington, from the start the Institute played an important role in the social and cultural life of the town. It was acquired by the council in 1959, and sub-let to a number of concerns but fell into decline, until after closure the roof fell in. Eventually, the building was restored and reopened as an arts centre in 1979. It was renovated during the Covid lockdown and now seats 495 in a single raked tier. Windows along one wall have been sealed off, and a former small balcony is now mainly used as a technical room. It is a grade 2* listed building.
