The Savoy Theatre occupies what has been called the oldest theatre site in Wales, dating back to Elizabethan times. In 1927 the building was restored as 'The New Picture House', and the first talking picture was shown in 1930.

English translation: "Theatr y Svaoy Mae'n debyg fod theatr wdi sefyll yma, y safle hynaf'i theatr yng Nghymru, ers ddyddiau Elizabeth 1af. Fe'i hadferwyd yn 1927 gan ailagor fel 'The New Picture House' ac yno, yn 1930, dangoswyd y ffilm llafar cyntaf."
