Colour photograph showing the façade and sidewall of Chorley Little Theatre, formerly the Empire, in Chorley. Taken from across the road, it shows the left hand side of a plain façade bearing a poster advertising a production of ‘Love Match’ by Glenn Melvin. To the left is a sidewall that stretches back and to the left until it reaches the main façade that stands on the curve of Dole Lane. It is made in stone, heavily pseudo-Georgian in style, with EMPIRE appearing on the face of a wide gable. This façade forms the entrance to the backstage areas suggesting that it was possibly built as an owner’s/manager’s accommodation, or a company office.
