oop another article @ScarboroCouncil. Apparently his theatres were rather iconic and it was a privilege for a town to have anything like it.

Who knew.

Today marks 100 yrs since the death of visionary theatre architect Frank Matcham. #kingstheatre was one of over 150 theatres he designed of which only 21 survive. Matcham had an eye for beauty, lavishness and most importantly for us today clear sightlines to the stage #Matcham100

[Showtown History Centre @showtownhistory]

Today marks 100 years since the death of theatrical architect, Frank Matcham. Matcham’s opulent style still resonates through Blackpool. The Tower Circus, originally designed by Maxwell & Turk in 1894, was redesigned by Matcham in 1899 and opened on 4th June 1900. #matcham100

In 1953 the BBC bought Shepherd's Bush Empire for £120,000 and ran it as the Television Theatre for the next 38 years.

Frank Matcham's New Theatre and Opera House has evolved over the years, but its iconic facade and grand design remains unmissable to this day. Next year marks the theatre's 130th birthday, and we cannot wait to welcome you all back as soon as possible!

[Lyric Hammersmith Theatre @LyricHammer]

Our theatre is 125 years old and after all that time it needed a little TLC. So in 2018 we refurbished the Matcham design to restore it to its original glory. #Matcham100

[Diana Walkden @walkden_diana]

Today we celebrate Frank Matcham's work #Matcham100 and I'm really looking forward to seeing the Grand Opera House Belfast when it reopens after its restoration! What a beauty!

[Ramona Riedzewski @archivistramona]

The Elephant & Castle Theatre was Matcham's very first theatre in 1879-due to untimely death of his father-in-law. Sadly this is all that remains (as of 16 May 2020) and due for demolition. Would love to know what original features remain behind the metal and inside #Matcham100

Known for lavish interiors, Matcham's designs also had the audience in mind with his use of cantilevers for the galleries, instead of view-obstructing columns #Matcham100

It’s 100 years since the death of Frank Matcham, theatre designer. Our second home, @Everymanchelt is Matcham’s oldest surviving theatre. Can’t wait to get back inside it. #Matcham100

[Buxton Opera House @BuxtonOpHouse]

Just to the left of the Dress Circle is a little corridor, otherwise known as the Matcham Gallery. The walls are filled with architectural plans, old theatre bills and photos. When you're on the way to your seats, pause a while and enjoy a glimpse into our history. #Matcham100
