Title
Interior of Shoreditch Town Hall in Old Street
Description
A view of the assembly hall at Shoreditch Town Hall, Old Street, Shoreditch. The first-floor hall dates from 1905 after a fire. It comprises a curved ceiling of six bays, ribbed and coffered with glazed skylights, proscenium arch with masks of comedy and tragedy and large shell niche at the back of the stage with a lyre. The balcony is decorated with cornucopias and the sides and rear of the ground floor are lined in marble panels of three colours. When used for theatrical performances, it can seat 750. The eastern five bays of the building were built to serve the vestry in 1866. The building was expanded in 1898-1902 to accommodate the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch, which was created under the 1899 Local Government Act. The borough was merged into the London Borough of Hackney in 1965 when the building lost its town hall function. Shoreditch Town Hall was Grade II listed in 1975, listing number 1235232.
