The theatre is an impressive building designed by Irwin and Chester and was built in Classical style with fluted Corinthian columns.
It remained in active use as a theatre until 1921. Since that date it has been used as a cinema, bingo hall and now is a night club.
Throughout all these changes the statue has remained standing in the niche above the main entrance.
The building became an English Heritage Grade II Listed Building in 1974. (
