Lyric Hall

The Lyric Hall opened in May 1890 and closed within two weeks. It reopened in June 1890 and remained active (mainly as a cinema) until March 1931. It is on the upper floor of a plain red-brick building, the long axis of which runs along Market Street, but whose main façade stands in Glanglasfor. When the Hall was built provision was made for a gallery holding 200 persons but, in the event, this was never constructed. The façade along Market Street has been whitewashed and the ground floor of the building given over to shops. The building is in good condition but the Hall has long since been cleared of all theatrical and cinematic fittings, and it is now used as a warehouse for a nearby furniture store.
