The Public Hall in the Cornmarket in 1966 - side view. The
hall was built originally in 1849 for use as a corn exchange but was
abandoned in favour of the corn exchange in Angel Street. It became
a public hall for more general uses by the 1890's and played host
to such people as Charles Dickens, Dvorak and Edward Elgar. It was
demolished in 1966 to make way for the City Walls road development
and a new car park. However the toilets on the side of the building
still remains as a memento of the former building -
front view - in use with Edward Elgar. |
