Background
History
In 1806 the former site of the Malt Cross monument was cleared, being recorded as: }} The Malt Cross was built in 1877. It had previously been an inn named the Roebuck but was bought by Mr Charles Weldon who rebuilt and enlarged the premises. Mr Charles Weldon only managed the music hall for a few years before the mortgage of £5,500 was foreclosed in 1880. It was then subject to a frequent change of management with Mr William Hulse taking the reins from 1883 – 1889, Mr E.F. Buxenstein for a year in 1891, Mr Arthur B. Johnson for a slightly lengthier period of 1893 – 1900, and then Mr Lewis Thompson Donkersley between 1902 - 1904.
