  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the façade of the former New Theatre in Chichester. Taken from across the road, it shows a two-storey, red brick building on a corner site where South Street meets Theatre Lane. The façade has been marred by the insertion of a restaurant (‘Zizzi’) across the full width of the ground floor but above this all is authentic. It has three bays, with the centre bay slightly advanced, all containing a blank square central panel. The wider centre bay also has sash windows, emphasised by a triangular pediment bearing the date 1791, and a brick cornice lines the width of the building with a parapet above concealing a pitched tiled roof. A sidewall is partly in shot to the right, with a doorway visible on the near corner.
