A landmark of Victorian New Brighton

Roy Dutton’s account centers on New Brighton Tower, a 567-foot structure built above the River Mersey and presented as a landmark of Victorian Britain. The book also documents the attractions gathered around it: a theatre between the tower’s legs, with room for 2,500, and a ballroom described as the North’s largest, hosting up to 1,000 couples. Its historical scope includes performers who appeared at the theatre, among them the Beatles, who played there 27 times. Together, the tower, its entertainment venues and the names associated with its stage frame a history of the building as both an architectural presence and a public destination.

Good fit for readers who enjoy
