Inside the Hall Series //
On this day in 1993, excavators cut through 200 years of history, as ground was broken to begin construction of the Hall. The site had a varied past: open fields, a tributary of the River Tib, mills, gas works & a bus station. What a journey!

RIP, the truly inspirational Tony Bennett. A true gentleman on and off the stage, it was always a huge pleasure to have him sing in our auditorium. An iconic voice, and one of the last great crooners. End of an era 💔
