Thank you for another wonderful portrait. It is nothing short of a miracle that Wilton’s has survived to be used again. However, although this listed building is described as ‘restored,’ in fact its present grubby appearance is the result of decades of misuse and dereliction rather than theatrical performances. Considering the rarity of mid-nineteenth century theatrical spaces, it deserves to be actually restored to its mid-1800’s appearance.

Thank you GA and David. This place fascinates me (I dream of having a “do” there one day!) It is great to read the account of someone whose story and family is part of the fabric of this wonderful building.

Best wishes

Fascinating post.
My Great Grandfather, my Grandfather and my Father all lived in or near Wellclose Square. My Great Aunt ran a boarding house for sailors at 17 Wellclose Square which is next door to Wiltons Music Hall, their name was Wooster. My grandmother Louisa Larkin ran a grocery store at 14 Well Street (now Ensign Street) around 1899. My Father went to St Pauls School as did his 5 brothers and sisters. I know this was all before Davids time but he may know the name Larkin and Madden whose families were all in the area. I would be very interested hear about tany information he may have on the area.
Thanks for posting.

I suggest that an interview by the G.A. with Valerie-Jael would give an interesting look at East London local history.

Thanks for introducing David. Wilton’s music hall has an amazing history and it’s wonderful that it’s survived.

Thanks for the memories. My cousin Millie is sitting in the school photo, too, we all grew up around there, and I was born in Peabody Buildings on John Fisher Street, too! Valerie
