This photograph was taken from the balcony of 'The Stump'
(the Parish Church
tower) in 1961 and shows a corner of the Market Place on the Wednesday
or
Saturday market. The New Theatre (New Electric Theatric 1910 - closed the
year before) is second on the left next to the white 1933 facade of Marks& Spencer.
The auditorium is set behind, being the Corn Exchange of 1855. The
projection box and fly tower (both added in a 1926 rebuild) show clearly.
Running beside the auditorium is that of the 1914 Scala, the auditorium
of
which was untouched, apart from seats and stage equipment cleared, while
the
foyer and winter garden had become Brown Bros. & Taylor's furniture
shop in
1949. There had been a catenary wire with hemp pulley line stretched between the two boxes for the transfer of spools. The New was demolished later in the year, but the ex-Scala still stands as a Poundstretcher store. Copyright photograph from the Gould Theatre Collection. |
