These ornate buildings are still there on the opposite side of Broad Street from the Brass House pub?

Unfortunately these buildings have long been demolished. They are not those suggested as these buildings front CAMBRIDGE STREET, behind BINGLEY HALL. The very similar buildings that are opposite THE BRASSHOUSE pub on BROAD STREET would show GAS STREET on the right and would face the CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER, built over the canal leading to GAS STREET BASIN, and next door to THE BRASSHOUSE.

Copy and paste this link into the search bar and it will show you a pic of the Rep theatre not long after it had been built, in the pic you can see Bingley Hall next to it which at the bottom right of the 1921 photo above and also the building behind the rep is also in the photo above.

I think Bottom left is Bingley Hall, the street above it is Cambridge Street and the street above that is the Crescent.
