Description:Martin Street before the erection of the County Buildings in 1895. On the left is the Playhouse Theatre, formerly known as The Lyceum Theatre. Built in 1792, the theatre was visited by Charles Dickens during his brief stay in Stafford in the 1840s. A fire in 1912 destroyed the building, but it was repaired and used as a warehouse by J. Brookfield and Son, who produced animal feed. The building was demolished in the 1920s to make way for the County Laboratory.
