There is a University Theatre, now called Adam House Theatre, which is directly to the right of the place where the picture was taken (but not in the picture). This building has a plaque in it commemorating it as the site of the former Operetta House / Gaiety Theatre / Music Hall, built 1875, and run by Herbert Moss. It closed in 1892 and was renamed the Operetta House showing Cine-variety, and eventually films only. - Information Courtsy Gordon Hughes - Photo M.L.
