Devonshire Hall Morecambe 3274
More Music (Devonshire Hall Music Hall), Morecambe. Opened as the Devonshire Hall in 1899, a flat floored music hall with 600 seats in the stalls and 200 in the balcony. The auditorium was at 1st floor level with retail units on the ground floor. The stage was suited for variety - small with no flying - and there seems to have been a first door scene dock door at the rear. After closure the theatre part was converted to a snooker hall, with a false ceiling (possibly the balcony was removed at this point as there is no apparent trace of it now), but has returned as a live music venue. The stage however has recently been removed to create a wide open stage, more suited to the bands. Above the false ceiling, the original roof and part of the proscenium wall survive.
