Grainger Music Hall, Newcastle

Newcastle Index

Built in 1838 and called simply Music Hall, the theatre was renamed the New Tyne Concert Hall in 1879, and in 1884 it was renamed the Gaiety.

Arthur Lloyd is known to have performed at The Grainger Music Hall (left) in 1862 1863

The hall was gutted shortly after the picture of the stage (above) was taken, and has now been converted into a clothes shop. The exterior facade (below) remains however.
