This photo shows the Shakespere Hotel (formerly The Theatre Royal)And next door the Hippodrome Theatre.The Theatre Royal was converted into a public house when the Hippodrome was built, but the facade was not altered. the stage area was was used to build a dressing room block for the Hippodrome.This remained in place until the area was turned into a car park.
i remember when i was five or six years old all the cages outside the hippodrome with lions tigers and bears outside and i remember a man pulling a bus with his teeth
