Anyone recognise this theatre?
A bit of a long shot I know, yet if you don't ask etc etc...
 Anyone recognise the theatre in the background of this photo please??  I say theatre because I can make out the words on the 'roof' above the father's head. There's swans on top of that roof, but Googling Swan theatres hasn't uncovered the location. They lived in Cheltenham, but it's no theatre there. I'm just interested where they were when the photo was taken  BTW the son was born in 1931, so it's early 1950s

I can see why you say that Bren because of the pillars, but looking at it on Google Maps, unfortunately it's not. I did at first think that they were play posters on the right, but now see they're train advertisements! I thought that the swans on the roof would have made it quite distinctive.

How are you so sure it's a theatre? At first glance it looks like the back entrance of Swan and Edgar, lol!

Cor, what good eyes you all have! I can only just make out the word theatre!
Does anyone agree that the people in the photo are walking up an incline, away from the theatre? That would rule out most of the West End theatres at a stroke. OC

I admit to have had to zoom in to read it OC! Also this is one of the wonky scanned photos sent from a cousin, so they may be on the flat after all!
 Thanks for the link Allan, still investigating that... and why wouldn't a resident of Cheltenham want to visit Liverpool????

A random thought. Many moons ago there was a cartoon cinema in Victoria Station in London. So there could be trains and theatre in one place.
