During a matinee performance of Babes in the Wood on 18th February 1948 a fire broke out backstage and quickly spread towards the stage area bringing that performance to an abrupt end and the extensive damage closed the venue until the next pantomime that December. The fire was suspected to have been caused by a cigarette butt which had been carelessly discarded.
