Ian commented about Palace Theatre on Dec 10, 2009 at 8:03 pm

Worth noting that the 1953 repairs to the faÃ§ade (covering it with faÃ¯ence tiles) was intended as a temporary post-war fix which heritage bodies have been eager to reverse for many years. The original windows can be seen peeking through the tiled walls.

Pictures from various years can be found here,

Ian commented about Sadler's Wells Theatre on Oct 23, 2009 at 1:46 pm

I believe that in 1998, the 1931 theatre was entirely demolished and replaced by the current building – any reuse of the 1931 structure was minimal in the extreme, if at all.
