Wilton's Grand Music Hall Sketch Proposals

Wilton's Music Hall
London, United Kingdom

These sketch proposals are the third known plans for the restoration of Wilton's. It relies heavily on catering and looks at presenting exclusively variety entertainment, outlined in Peter Honri's 'Artistic Blueprint'. Although smaller in scale than previous designs the scheme includes a number of drastic structural interventions, including puncturing the music hall wall with new entrances, altering the stage away from historically acurate dimensions, and accompanying paperwork suggests replacing the iconic barley twist columns with steel and plaster replicas. This design scheme was the basis for early restoration work when it began in 1980, however a lack of funding meant the scheme was never completed.
