Big_G Jul 2023 8:50am, 3 Jul 2023 2,633 posts	0 Big_G I go past this most days. It’s a council building with an interesting history (Singer family), and I’ve been to many weddings there over the years, but it’s falling into disrepair and been closed for many years. There is a coffee shop that is trying to raise funds towards a repair, but I think they’ll need to sell a few coffees to repair the woodworm that the building is reportedly riddled with. Some info here if interested, including some pics when it was in a better state. It also doubled as Buck Palace in a film, by all accounts. en.wikipedia.org
swittle Jul 2023 10:02am, 3 Jul 2023 98,272 posts	0 swittle I read the article with interest and not a small amount of resignation. A building with such an illustrious and exotic history surely deserves better but admin and financial wrangles will surely last longer than the building itself. The article mentions Frank Matcham who designed the Theatre Royal, Wakefield, my home town. After years of neglect it was fully restored, the highlight being the wonderfully ostentatious interior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_Royal,_Wakefield theatreroyalwakefield.co.uk
