| Description | The Archaeology Co. has been commissioned to prepare an Historic England level 3 building survey of 5 – 11 Brock Street, Lancaster. The building was constructed in 1844 as an Oddfellows Hall with a series of back-to-back two story houses below. Meetings were held at the hall, as well as entertainment, becoming a concert hall by 1883. The building was purchased by Fell in the 1890’s who turned it into a music hall. During this period the houses began to become shops, with people running businesses from their basements and living above. Following the fire in 1907 the hall did not reopen, and the northern and southern houses began to be combined, although still operating as shops. |
