Background
History
It was established via a public subscription and built in 1895. Some sources suggest it was constructed by the firm of William Webster, though this may reflect his son William's involvement in funding the project, as other sources attribute the construction to a J.O. Richardson of Peckham. The venue initially hosted orchestral and choral works and some of the 20th century's most famous musical performers appeared there, such as Dame Clara Butt and Percy Grainger.
