Documentary Evidence


The Theatre Royal was built in Mosley Street, one of the premier shopping and commercial streets in the Georgian town, in 1788. Designed by David Stephenson, Charleton described it as "unsurpassed by any provincial theatre in the country". It was demolished in the 1830s to make way for Grainger's new developments.
