  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the façade of the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford. Taken from across the road on Morely Street, it shows a well-advanced corner tower on the left hand side topped by a smooth semi-circular dome and carried on a drum of giant coupled Composite columns. A single storey entrance block continues along the front of the façade from the base of the tower. Set back is a patterned glazed frontage (an addition made during the 1986 works) that rises to the height of the original cornice and is advanced by two square corner towers, also topped by smooth domes. The name ALHAMBRA appears in tablature above the projected entrance block, and again on the faces of the two higher corner towers. Large tablature spelling ‘Les Misérables’ sits on top of the glazed frontage and posters advertising the same show appear on the advanced corner tower and on the entrance block at street-level.
