The Alhambra Palace Music Hall, Porter Street, Hull was originally built as a chapel, which itself was later known as St. Luke's church. The front of the Theatre was Stuccoed and said to have been 'richly ornamented.' The auditorium was large and high with balconies surrounding the centre on all three sides and a capacity of 4,000. The auditorium was apparently 'richly ornamented,' and the lounges and saloons were said to have been 'luxurious.' The Theatre later became part of the Barrasford circuit and was renamed the Hippodrome after extensive alterations. The Hippodrome Theatre was destroyed by bombs in 1941.
