  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the façade of the former Playhouse Theatre in Colchester. Taken from across the road, it shows a three-storey building on a corner site, built in red brick but with a stuccoed or stone-faced ground floor. The entrance bay is emphasized, rising above the height of the wings with a stone entablature and brick parapet, and its centre is advanced with paired windows at first and second floor. At first floor level to the right of the entrance is a large semi-circular window. The building is in use as a public house.
