This modest but delightful building opened as a theatre in 1814 and (after presumably closing for a period) re-opened as the Theatre Royal in 1819. The last performance was probably circa 1837. The building is listed, category B, with details at: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-38108-36-and-36a-bridge-street-including-bounda#.V4JIHTU5t8E
