II*
Formerly known as: Warehouse of W & A Gilbey Ltd CHALK FARM
ROAD.
Goods locomotive shed, now theatre. 1846-7. By Robert B
Dockray. For the London and North Western Railway. Built by
Branson & Gwyther. Converted for use as a theatre 1967 and
1985. Yellow stock brick. Low pitched conical slate roof
having a central smoke louvre, now glazed, and bracketed
eaves. Circular plan 48m in diameter. Buttresses with offsets
mark bays each having a shallow, recessed rectangular panel.
Former entrances and windows with round-arched heads.
INTERIOR: roof carried on 24 cast-iron Doric columns (defining
original locomotive spurs) and a framework of curved ribs.
Believed to retain original flooring, turn table and fragments
of early railway lines. Wooden gallery probably added by
Gilbeys, late C19.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the building did not last long as an engine
shed; by the 1860s the engines had become too long to be
turned and stored there so it was leased to W & A Gilbey Ltd
as a liquor store until converted to a theatre in the 1960s.
