The Old Nick Theatre, home of Gainsborough
Theatre Company, started its life as
Gainsborough's police station and courthouse
(hence the name) and the original features are
still very much in evidence.  The courtroom is
now the theatre itself, an intimate
theatre-in-the-round space capable of seating
55, though more often used in arena style with
the audience on three sides of the action.  
Downstairs, the new box office replaces the
original reception rooms and, still hidden from
view (unless you take part in one of
Gainsborough's Ghost Walks), are the original
cells, some complete and still decorated with
acerbic graffitti from previous residents!
The former St Johns Church, build in
Slumgothic Style in 1882, now privately owned,
