The development of music hall in Brighton parallels that in other towns of comparable size, though until late in the 19th century it was unable to establish itself as an acceptable form of popular entertainment. Beginning during the 1840s with public-house singing rooms of varying respectability, music hall diversified and became professional during the ensuing decade. Enterprising publicans enlarged their concert rooms (e.g. at the Apollo in Church Street) or adapted other entertainment premises (such as the Mighell Street circus) with elaborate decorations, tiered seating and fitted sages. Eventually in the 1860s purpose-built music halls, notably the Oxford, almost next to the Theatre Royal in New Street, emerged, coexisting for a time with the saloons. But the rise of the concert party, changes in social attitudes, and sheer economics, had by 1870 almost eliminated tavern music halls and set the pattern for the rest of the century. | ||||||
