Fascinating new pictures show an abandoned theatre left 'frozen in time' - with a huge staircase and even an old cigarette machine still waiting to be used.
The Theatre Royal, a replacement of an earlier theatre which sat in the same spot from 1790 until 1904, brought live entertainment to the West Yorkshire town of Halifax when it opened in 1905.
Later on in the century it the building would host a cinema, bingo hall and then a nightclub, before closing its doors for good in the 2000s.
