Watercolour. 8½ by 7½ in.
A brick building, with stone dressings and a tiled roof. It was on the
site of a former theatre and dated from 1714. Here “The Beggar’s Opera”
was produced, and ran for sixty nights. After various vicissitudes it
became a store-place for Messrs. Copeland and Spode’s china, and was
finally demolished for the enlargement of the Museum of the College
of Surgeons.
