  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the façade and sidewall of Confettis nightclub, formerly the Grand Theatre, in Derby. It shows a four-storey symmetrical façade with a plain sidewall to the right. Stuccoed and of nine bays, the façade has entablature above the second floor and giant Corinthian pilasters framing tripartite windows on the wider end bays at first and second floor level. Pilasters also articulate three central bays, and a sign hangs across them reading ‘Confettis’. The three centre bays have oeil-de-boeuf windows in the upper storey with ‘Grand Theatre’ appearing just below. A shallow canopy covers the main entrance, also bearing the name of the nightclub.
