How I long for the Old View
These images are based on views of the original Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. This Gothic fantasy on the banks of the river Avon was built by William Frederick Unsworth In 1879 after designs by W F Cusworth.
Tragically the theatre was destroyed by fire in 1926. Some of the original building did surive and form a part of today's the Royal Shakepeare Theatre.
