Auditorium & Stage Phase
Athenaeum Toilet Facilities ( Refurbishment )
Front Steps & Canopy Refurb
The brick skin of the toilet block was built in 1900 as a skittle alley and access corridor, covering over the original gardens, privy and stable block from the days of the London and Search Hoop Inns 1695-1857. It was subdivided in the 1930s, during the days of the cinema, to create the toilets that we have just removed. Part of it originally housed the generator for the cinema projector too. The roof was altered and repaired in about 1968, and lastly the store cupboards and disabled toilet were added in 1993.
In 2012 after several years of planning and much fundraising, the demolition of the old Athenaeum Toilet facilities took place and new £130,000 facilities erected in their place.
