Wilton’s Music Hall started in 1859 as a house that turned into a pub, then a music hall, then a warehouse, and is now once again a theatre space.
A conservation of the building hasn’t restored it to its original Victorian glory, but preserved the appearance as it was at the turn of the century, when it was in a pretty sorry state. The conservation made the building usable while retaining the semi-derelict appearance that makes it such an interesting building to visit.
