Wilton’s Music Hall Saved
For just under a year now the owners of East London’s Wilton’s Music Hall and fans of the historic venue have been fighting to save it from destruction and today we hear news that they’ve been successful.
The building is the oldest surviving Grand Music Hall in the world and as such had a lot of work that needed doing to it to make it structurally sound, for a moment it looked like they wouldn’t be able to raise enough cash to keep it standing but thanks to a last minute donation work can now begin on restoring it. Wilton’s had already raised £40,000 by themselves and then in stepped Independent Body SITA who have parted with an extra £700,000 to put towards the buildings restoration. This makes the sentimental person deep within us rather happy indeed.
