Details

Symmetrical ashlar façe to Quarry Street survives unaltered above ground floor. Two storey bay windows with corbelled gables flanking a five bay central section with big mullioned and transomed windows at first floor level. Smaller windows above, divided by coupled pilasters and a large tripartite arched window in the centre surmounted by a small gable. The interior has been decked over to make storage space, but is still recognisable as a small music hall of doubtful quality.
