Grand Theatre, Southampton

[1] The Grand Theatre stood on the corner of Windsor Terrace and Civic Centre Road.

It was designed by the architects William Hope and J. C. Maxwell of Newcastle upon Tyne and was built by Messrs Jenkins & Sons of Southampton in red brick with terracotta dressings in a French Renaissance style.

The front entrance was enhanced with a balustrade above and a central tower, at the top of which was a high domed lantern fitted with a purple light.

[3] The theatre's horseshoe-shaped auditorium was 60 feet (18 metres) wide and two-tiered, with the Circle on the first tier and the Gallery on the second above that.

On the demolition of this in about 2016 a new Marland House was built providing student accommodation for the nearby University of Southampton.
