Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, original building, 1930

Stewart Bale collection online exhibition

Archive reference 8481

Concert hall exterior - a large, plain brick building with a covered porch across the front

This picture shows the original Philharmonic Hall which burnt down in 1933. It recalls a very different building from its successor, somewhat square and uncompromising.

Find out about the history of the building on the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall website.
