Built in 1899 by Cecil Hepworth, it was bought in 1926 by Archibald Nettlefold, and renamed as Nettlefold Studios, and began producing silent films. and transitioned to sound films in 1930.. In 1955 it was bought and renamed Walton Studios.

The majority of the Studio's buildings were demolished in the early 1960s, and the site was sold for house building. All that remains of the Studio today is the power generating house, originally built by Hepworth, that was converted into a theatre in 1925. It is now known as the Walton Playhouse and is primarily used as a theatre for amateur dramatics.
