  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the façade, sidewall and roof of the Continentale, formerly the Playhouse, in Brighton. Taken from across Sudeley Street, it shows a converted chapel on a corner site, with the sloping roof and sidewall dominating the photograph and a lime green and yellow façade to the left. The façade’s entrance sits under a red canopy within a projected surround, with small arched filled-in windows on either side and a range of filled-in window at first floor level. There is a superimposed projection box bearing the theatre’s name and logo built well into the eaves of the sloping tiled roof at second floor level. The name also appears vertically on a sign attached to the nearest corner. Six high arched filled-in windows run down the side of the corner site.
