Colour photograph showing the façade and sidewall of the Octagon Theatre in Bolton. The brick sidewall, bearing the theatre’s logo, dominates the right hand side of the photograph with the glazed two-storey façade to the left. It is a modern building based on a hexagonal drum, which rises above the amply glazed public areas (housing a foyer with box office, a bar and a café restaurant) and is just in shot above the nearest corner, covered in grey tiles. A modern canopy covers the main entrance.
