Morley Hall Electric Theatre

Located in the east London district of Hackney, on the corner of Mare Street and Westgate Street, near London Fields. The Morley Hall consisted of the large hall which had 1,000-seats, the 400-seat upper hall and two smaller halls with 150-seats and 100-seats respectively. Films were being screened in the 400-seat upper hall from at least 1899. It gained a Cinematograph Licence in 1910, and continued in cinema use until 1919. It was fitted with a pipe organ (make unknown).

Today, Morley Hall is in use as the City Edge, Business Training & Conference Centre, with the entrance facade modernised. At the rear of the building the name ‘Morley Hall’ is visible in the stonework, when viewed from the railway line.
