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 three-storey façade to the left. It is a modern building based on a hexagonal drum, which is out of shot above the amply glazed public areas (housing a foyer with box office, a bar and a café restaurant). A modern canopy covers the main entrance and a sign on the nearest corner bears the legend OCTAGON THEATRE. Another sign underneath explains who supports the Octagon Theatre Trust.
