II
Theatre. 1891, by Alfred Darbyshire and F.Bennett Smith;
altered 1913 by Bertie Crewe of London; re-fronted 1956.
Probably iron-framed, clad with brick and now faced with buff
glazed terracotta; slate roof. Rectangular plan. Three storeys
and basement. The facade, in debased modern classical style,
is of less interest than the INTERIOR: auditorium with two
tiers of segmentally curved balconies (the Circle and the
Grand Tier) with bowed ends, the fronts decorated with
continuous series of cartouches, anthemions, etc, and two
tiers of boxes carried by standing Atlantes, with tetrastyle
architraves of giant fluted Ionic columns; and a circular dome
in the ceiling with a hinged lighting panel. Circle promenade
with Ionic columns and semi-columns, and elaborate pedimented
architraves to the staircase doors.
