The year is 1961, and we witness skilled contractors from R Smith (Horley) Ltd diligently placing steel roofing frames into position. Their expertise is evident as they meticulously work on this remarkable feat. The image showcases the sheer scale and complexity of this new building's design. The theatre's frame stands tall against the sky, showcasing its modernity amidst a backdrop of traditional architecture. This juxtaposition perfectly captures the spirit of progress that defined the 1960s.
