In the mid-18th century, theatres were often set up in or near public houses, and the New Theatre put plays on in the Old Cock Yard, Old Cock Inn, Southgate, Halifax. Though this handbill does not specifically state the venue as being the Old Cock Yard, compare the cast list with Doc 101443. The Coronation re-enacted was that of King George III and Queen Charlotte.
