Architecture, Civic Theatre, Halifax, Theatres, Victoria Hall
Opened in February 1901, this fine building has had a number of names since that time. Its fortunes have varied over the decades, and was purchased by Halifax Borough Council in 1960. Amongst other things, it hosted pop groups in the 1960s, wrestling matches in the 1970s and today has a wide variety of shows, pantomimes and live music events. The niches are all occupied by statues of famous composers and musicians. The postcard is dated September 1903
