The façade of the 1763 building was dismantled and rebuilt as part of the vintage street scene at the National Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire.
[2] Because of the 40-year-old agreement, the façade was then dismantled and re-erected at the National Tramway Museum, which is some 18 kilometres (11 mi) north of its original site, in the Derbyshire village of Crich.
Here a modern building behind the re-erected façade houses the museum's small-exhibits exhibition space and library.
[3][4][9][10] The venue has seen performances by Elton John, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Take That, the Manic Street Preachers, Tony Bennett and Frankie Laine.
A council leader commented that £20 million levelling up funding awarded from April 2023 was insufficient to cover demolition and replacement with a new theatre.
