Hi, I'm researching into the history of the Alexandra Theatre, I am currently going through their archives which is fascinating. I'm particularly looking for images of the old theatre, the one pulled down in 1935, particularly ones showing the auditorium. I have a description of it but can't quite work out how many levels of seating there were. I know the new one (ie the current one) is bigger but has less seats, probably on account of the seating being a lot more spacious and comfortable, they used to have 'packers in' back in the old one! Please let me know if you have any photos or anything of interest particularly relating to the pre 1935 building. I am happy to try to answer any questions you in turn may have about this wonderful theatre.
