Aerial view of the Carlton from above Little Horton

This 1928 aerial view shows the back of the Carlton with Manchester Road on the far side of the building. It was in a relatively densely populated area of terraced housing. How clean and bright the stone still looks (it’s been up 6 years). When I saw it (outside only) in the 1950s it was soot-black like most of Bradford.

The elements of the building show clearly. A full height stage extension on the left with single storey elements for toilets and exits. The foyer/stairs/projection-room structure at the right; with the auditorium in between.
