Music Halls, Graces Alley, London E1 8JB - Wilton's the oldest surviving Music Hall.
Music Hall's were a part of many of our ancestors lives. If you are interested in the social life of your ancestors, or if they worked in Music Halls then this site is worth looking at. Wilton's is the oldest surviving Grand Music Hall in the world. One of the the first generation public house music halls in London during the 1850s. Now owned by the Wilton's Music Hall Trust and run by a small team of people, it produces imaginative, distinctive work that combines all art forms and spotlights new talent. They are also raising funds to renovate the Music Hall.
They run guided tours where you can "Discover Wilton's unique and colourful history. Hear how a Victorian sailors' pub became a famous music hall, how it was transformed into a Methodist Mission, survived the London Blitz, was forgotten for decades and reopened as the exciting theatre venue it is today. These tours have been devised by Wilton's historian and archivist and last approximately one hour".
