This month's CityDailyPhoto (CDP) theme for a photo is electricity.I've brought you an image of the Savoy Theatre. This grand building first opened in October 1881. Impressive for its grandeur but also impressive as it was the first public building in the world to be lit entirely by electricity. When? 1889!
It was revamped in 1929 and then rebuilt again in 1993 due to fire.

Electricity history! Love it.
The entrance to the Savoy Hotel is the only left hand road in the UK I am told. Not very electrifying but there it is.
Lovely picture, expensive Eon Bill!
Neat take on today's theme. Looks like a very fancy place!
Well now there's something I didn't know, see that's why I like doing this, you learn something new everyday. I hope this one comes up in a quiz at some point Mo, I'll most probably be the only one who knows this fact. Great post.
What a lovely photo! I love the composition. Wasn't the Savoy refurbished last year too?
Love it Mo!
Love the look of this place. Very intriguing. Makes you want to pop in and see what the place is about!
A great piece of history Mo!
First I thought nothing of it til I saw it was in 1889. Wonderful.

Oh, how exquisite! A wonderful photo and it's tied to history. Couldn't be better.
