Details

A large theatre, seating c. 1,700, built by the Pontypridd Market and Town Hall Company over a pre-existing fruit and vegetable market. The site is hemmed in by lanes and narrow alleys so that the structure has no obvious front and principal entrance. Inside, the theatre is dark and much neglected, with simple wall coverings boxing off the original Victorian features.
