The Grand Theatre

The Grand Theatre pictured after its completion in 1899. A one story circus hall, known as the People's Empire Palace, had originally stood on the site (1884-1898). During 1898/99, two more stories were added, and Luke Bagshaw photographed the Grand upon its completion in 1899. The brickwork can be seen here, before the facing was added.
