| The Old Theatre Destroyed by Fire - 6 March 1926 |
| For more about the fire, please follow this link. |
| Two quite well-known postcards of the aftermath of the fire. On the left, a policeman surveys the ruins (does anyone know who he is/was ?), whilst on the right Lady Macbeth's statue was conveniently situated for a dramatic effect ! |



| It's a little difficult to make out the detail in this postcard, but it appears to have been taken outside the "Dirty Duck" some time after the blaze - the gardens are well fenced off, the tress are in leaf and there is no sign of the tower. Was the tower demolished soon after ? |
