EartH (ex Savoy / ABC Cinema), Stoke Newington. The former rear stalls area (Concert Hall) - note the curve of the balcony front. Designed by W R Glen for ABC, and opened as the Savoy in October 1936. It became the Konak Cinema in 1977 and the ACE in 1982 before closing in 1984. The stalls area was subsequently divided off as a snooker hall, and the balcony area was abandonded. In 2014 the snooker hall was transformed into a function area and in 2018 the cleaned and stabilised (rather than restored) balcony re-opened - both known as EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) with a mixed programming including stand-up, music and films. The balcony area is now known as EartH Theatre and the stalls EartH Concert Hall, the former cafe and circle foyer is EartH Kitchen - cafe bar open during the day.

D20918. The Grade II* listed Hackney Empire was opened in 1901 and is a splendid example of a late Victorian theatre.
It was originally a music hall and many of the stars of the day performed there. With the decline in theatre audiences in the post World War II period, it became a TV studio in the 1950s and then became a Bingo Hall in 1963.
In 1984, however, it became a theatre once again, but narrowly avoided demolition in 1986. It closed temporarily for a major refurbishment in 2001, reopening in 2004.

Hackney garage (code H) closed in 1981 with the opening of the new Ash Grove garage. I recall Hackney as predominantly operating Routemasters, DMS route 106 in fact later reverted to RM operation. An MBA Merlin is seen in the background with blinds for route 502.
My last two of the W15 allocation were DML44281 and 44284.
Sister 44283 passes while I wait at Mabley Green between the two. 4.1.22.
Hackney Empire Theatre, London. Designed by Frank Matcham and opened in December 1901, the Empire was equipped from the start with a projection box for films. The principal use was as a Music Hall, but the large stage allowed for opera and spectacular pantomimes. It initially seated a claimed 3,000 (1,900 is likely more accurate) on four levels, now it seats just over 1,000 in a more comfortable layout. Used as a TV studio in the 1950s and converted into a bingo hall in 1963, the theatre somehow survived drastic alteration, and was able to reopen for live shows in 1984. With developers circling, the freehold was acquired, allowing planning for a thorough restoration to begin. It closed in 2001 as a massive expansion (taking in the corner public house and rebuilding the stage house) and restoration which lasted 3 years, the Empire reopened in 2004 (architect Tim Ronalds). It is a grade 2* listed building. Taken on the Open City Festival viewing.

Art (I assume) by Frankie Strand, although this piece is not signed as it usually is...I like the glass cemented into top of wall echoing the reptile's scaly back.
