Colour photograph showing a side elevation of the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe. Taken from the road, it shows a red brick sidewall with stone dressings to the left and a two-storey block, also in red brick, in the foreground to the right. The theatre’s sidewall has a wide gable to a pitched roof, with several small windows topped with semicircles. There are similar features over two doorways, one or both of which probably serve as stage doors. A third doorway is larger and probably used as the get-in. Further stone decoration comes in the form of two bands that run across the width of the elevation at first and second floor level, and a tall central arch that stretches form the ground floor to the bottom of the gable. A bay on the right hand side of the building rises up to its own smaller shaped gable. The two-storey block in the foreground is occupied by a public house affiliated to the theatre.
