Photogrammetry of the interior of the Grade II listed building.
“Built in 1864 as a public assembly and concert venue known as The Music Hall, with a 2,500 capacity, it became ‘The Albert Hall’ in 1882 in honour of the Queen’s Consort. In the early days of the Albert Hall’s past, the stage held performances by some of the world’s most influential and famous performers including Adelina Patti and Oscar Wilde, as well as social and political speakers, church services and marriages. The hall hosted a wide variety of entertainment continuing for 70 years before the building took on the next stage of its life as a silent movie cinema in 1922 and switched to ‘talkies’ in 1929. It became a bingo hall in 1978 which lasted until 2007 when its doors closed.” - From Heritage Impact Statement 2021
