Formally built as a hall for non-conformists in the late 1830s, by the 1870s it was the premises of the famous organ builders Hele & Co. They were to produce stops, pipes and complete organs throughout the city. A notable one was made for St Peter’s Church which was later destroyed in WWII. During that period, the hall’s basement was the HQ for the local Air Raid Wardens, after which the building also hosted boxing matches and acted as a gym.
