Description: | 35 mm slide of a close up view of the Theatre Royal which was in King Street, South Shields and was built in 1863. This is now the site of Marks and Spencers. The building is painted a pale colour with a darker shade picking out the columns, and there is gold detail at the top of the columns and around two small oval windows. There are three further long windows and a large arched window to the left of the slide with a gold painted face/mask above it. The exterior is in marked contrast to the grey, modern square tiled shop frontage which is next door. The slide was probably taken in the 1980s or 1990s and has the words Theatre Royal Above Marks and Spencers 1863 on the front.
