The Wurlitzer, Opus 1664,which arrived in England on the 30th July 1927 was first installed in the Trocadero Theatre, Liverpool, in 1927. Ten years later in 1938 it was reinstalled in the Gaumont Dingle Theatre Liverpool.

The Wurlitzer was the 13th to arrive in the Country, but is at present the 6th oldest surviving Wurlitzer remaining of that first group.

This Project was part funded by a Heritage Lottery Grant which has enabled us to create A Theatre Organ Heritage Centre and the Worlds first Museum dedicated to the work of Robert Hope-Jones in creating the foundations of the Theatre Organ.
