Colour photograph showing the façade of the Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne. Taken from across the road, it shows a symmetrical stuccoed façade with shops flanking the entrance and eleven bays of rectangular windows at first floor level, subdivided by small Corinthian pilasters. There is also a seven-bay upper storey with Tuscan pilasters and a shallow hipped roof (out-of-shot) above the cornice. A canopy extends across the width of the building.
