Title

Side-View of Theatre Royal from Parliament Street, 1979

Date

11 February 1979

Description

Side-View of Theatre Royal from Parliament Street, following 1970s refurbishment.

What's the story?

Image shows where County Hotel once stood and replaced by new Theatre Royal offices, dressing rooms and large scene dock to now cater for large touring companies.
The new design meant that the Theatre Royal and its famous portico could stand out and be more prominent, whereas before it was challenged by the more architecturally dominant County Hotel.
