Our Story
THE TOWER BALLROOM (HULL)
Set in a wonderfully ornate former Edwardian cinema surviving – but only just – into the 21st Century.
Opened on June 1, 1914, was designed by H. Percival Binks and seated 1,200 in the stalls and single balcony. This was later reduced to 750 by virtue of more space and individual seats replacing the wooden benches.
The facade is faced with faience tiles and contains an abundance of moulded swags and cartouches. At either end, are large windows above exit doors and topped by onion domes decorated with green and cream mosaics with bands of gold faced glass. These domes later became in a very poor condition. In the centre above a large demi-lune window, behind a small colonade lighting the balcony foyer and cafe. Above this is a parapet with a bare-breasted female figure perched on top looking down into Anlaby Road.
