Bournemouth
Pavilion
The building with concert hall, reading rooms and cafés was first advocated
in 1859 but wasn’t authorised until 1892. Previously unknown architect firm
Home and Knight won the contract and the construction costs amounted to
£250,000. But
licensing complications and the outbreak of the Great War delayed
construction and the grand opening by HRH The Duke of Gloucester did not
take place until March 19th, 1929. The Concert Hall’s inability to
accommodate staged productions led to its eventual enlargement and in July
1934 it was reopened as a theatre.
