Southwell Old Theatre. Around 1812-16 James Adams, a whitesmith, converted the first floor for use as a theatre. It opened with performances by a travelling company, managed by Joseph Smedley. Playbills show the theatre had boxes, a pit and gallery. In 1881 the Loughton family inherited the property. Alfred Loughton became a well know photographer.
