Although this is technically the front of the Albert Hall, accessed via Derby Road - seen in the distance - most ambulant users seem to enter this well-known concert hall via alternative entrances in Wellington Circus Street – near to the Playhouse Theatre. The original Albert Hall was built in 1876 using plans by Watson Fothergill, an established local architect. In 1900 it was bought by Wesleyan Methodists for £8,450 in order to establish a mission therein. Six years later however, it was burned to the ground and only replaced by the present building in 1909.
