This cinema organ has quite a history. It was originally installed in the Gaumont Cinema, Oldham in 1937, moved in 1966 to the Dale Hall at Hampsthwaite, North Yorkshire, then to the Trinity Arts Centre in Pudsey, Leeds from 1991 to 1994. After many years in storage it came to the Victoria Hall in 2009 and is now regularly used for recitals. For more detail see https://www.cinema-organs.org.uk/venues/victoria-hall/
