Comments on: Restoration At Wilton’s Music Hall https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/06/26/at-wiltons-music-hall-2/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 14 Jan 2023 08:44:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.1 By: Dawn Knox https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/06/26/at-wiltons-music-hall-2/#comment-1498431 Sat, 14 Jan 2023 08:44:06 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=135740#comment-1498431 My father, Edward Kentish (1926-2015) used to go to Wiltons as a teenager when it was the Methodist Mission. They had a youth club. My father played table tennis there and learnt to dance. I have a photo of him in what was then the canteen in about 1939 with a group of others. A few years ago, I visited Wiltons and from the photo, worked out that what was the ‘museum’ room was the same room as the on in which the photo was taken. I think the ‘museum’ room is something different now though. It is the first room on the left in the entrance.

Wonderful.

I have some writing in a book about the old mahogany bar and a line drawing which I will bring to show next time I visit.
Looking forward to seeing the restoration work.
I love this place.

I bet my ancestors would have gone there, and maybe even performed there!! Thank you GA.

Pauline.
