- Wurlitzer_theatre_organs_in_the_United_Kingdom abstract "There was a number of Wurlitzers theatre organs in the United Kingdom, installed in the period from 1925 to just before the Second World War (1939–45).The first Wurlitzer theatre organ shipped to the UK was constructed in 1924, and shipped in via Southampton Docks in January 1925. A very small, six-rank instrument, it was installed at the Picture House, Walsall in the West Midlands. After a period in private ownership in Sedgely, Staffordshire, it is now installed and operational in the Congregational Church in Beer, Devon.The Trocadero Elephant and Castle Wurlitzer was the largest organ ever shipped to the UK, installed in 1930 for the grand opening of the 3,400-seater cinema.The Blackpool Opera House organ of 1939, designed by Horace Finch, was the last new Wurlitzer to be installed in the UK. The Granada, Kingston also received a Wurlitzer in or around 1939, but most of this came from an earlier installation in Edinburgh. This was the last Wurlitzer installation to be opened, with Reginald Dixon at the console.[citation needed]Wurlitzers made regular radio broadcasts via the BBC, becoming stars themselves beside their organists. The more famous of these organs were at the Empire Cinema, London, and the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, the latterly most regularly played by Reginald Dixon creating what became known as the "Blackpool sound".Many Wurlitzer organs have survived and are installed in private homes, town halls, concert halls and ballrooms throughout the country. The Cinema Organ Society has an extensive list of British cinema organs.".
