Theatre includes No 61 Angel Lane. 1884. Architect J G Buckle with later additions.
Commissioned by Charles Silver, actor-manager. Plain exterior. Chanelled stucco
ground storey with painted brick upper storeys. Roof not visible. Central range
with corner stucco pilasters rising through upper storeys to support cornice and
parapet. Central stucco panel with raised inscription reading 'Theatre Royal'.
Central oriel window above with enriched stucco apron. Interior retains original
ornament and decoration. Two galleries supported by range of cast iron columns.
Two boxes flank central proscenium arch. Delicate plasterwork to ceiling, boxes
and balcony fronts. Side extensions added in 1887 and stage enlarged to rear in
1891. Reputedly an unique example in London or suburban theatre constructed on cast
beams and columns rather than steel cantilevers.
