Signs on The Theatre Royal


A "To let/may sell" notice has gone up on the side of the Theatre Royal.

Whilst that might seem like bad news for theatre lovers it isn't so as any interested party needs to understand that the theatre is a Grade 2 listed building. As such, listed building consent must be applied for in order to make any changes to the building which might affect its special interest.

The Theatre Royal Trust have drawn up an options appraisal which should allow the building to be used as a cinema/theatre in the future.

A contribution to signs, signs.

  4. The Royal Theater needs to find a producer who is looking for a theater. Live theater is a great joy.

  6. I hope the old owner takes good care of her until it's sold! So many buildings deteriorate from abandonment.

  7. Lesley that is unlikely here in Thanet a building was handed back to the council in a deplorable state after being empty it is a wreck and the council tax payers will end up footing the bill.
