Construction started in 1841, the building opened in 1854 (with the small concert room opening two years later).

The concert room was refurbished between 2000 and 2007.

Inside the hall, function rooms are available for hire, and there is a concert room.

Then they made their way to the concert room, which was about halfway down the pier.

In wet or cold weather it could be drawn right across, so that the concert room became an enclosed hall.

Lincoln Fields, dazed and bewildered, found himself back in the concert room again.

At full capacity the concert room holds 150.

The Shelter had a concert room for entertainment and seated 200, plus an orchestra.

A dance floor was laid in the new concert room.
