Significance - Formerly the Broadway Theatre this hall has been a prominent social venue since it was opened in c. 1920. It was built and redecorated in a number of stages.

Architecturally it is most notable for its exquisite and elaborately detailed neo-classical plaster work on its first floor facade. (detailed in photo)

Its ground floor frontage is now in a very poor state. The interior should be investigated. Recommendations (written prior to being turned into units)
