It was first designed to seat 3,000 people, showing pantomime, opera, dance, music hall and my favourite, ballet! I can imagine that after 80 years of neglect and decay, reconstruction must have been endlessly problematic.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-13191749901474712682019-02-10T17:16:06.000+11:002019-02-10T17:16:06.000+11:00In July 1980, the palace caught fire once more, de...In July 1980, the palace caught fire once more, destroying much of the original building, including the Great Hall. It reopened again in 1988, the sheer size of the venue meant raising funds for the upkeep proved tricky. Nowhere has this been more apparent than the theatre. <br /><br />The current restoration plans were first mooted in 2011 and construction work began in 2016.<br /><br />Steve Pill<br />Discover Britain, April 2019<br />Steve Pillhttp://discoverbritainmag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-50173809066391909592014-01-27T03:39:07.047+11:002014-01-27T03:39:07.047+11:00Have a close look at the theatre, as large as its ...Have a close look at the theatre, as large as its West End counterparts.
