The Crescent was a part-completed, Regency-style terrace in central Birmingham, England, first proposed in 1788, started and discontinued in 1795, and finally demolished in the mid- to late 1960s. Like other late 18th and early 19th century crescent terraces in Britain and Ireland, it took its inspiration from The Crescent (later Royal Crescent), Bath designed by John Wood the Younger and built 1767 to 1774. The Crescent Theatre was based in one of the buildings in the east wing of The Crescent from its first production in 1932 until 1964, and takes its name from there.
