Abstract: |
The work was carried out in response to a planning condition (26) on the planning permissions (App. No 13/0364/F and 13/0365/C) and on the advice of the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service. The Comedy Club Building was first established on its present site as The Providence Baptist Chapel in 1827. Around 1869 the building changed hands and was used as the St Peter Boys School. This coincided with and must relate to the construction of St Peters Church and Church School, built in 1865-6 on the north side of Bridge Street and diagonally opposite. The former chapel was then put to use as a hall serving the adjacent school buildings and remained so until c.1911 when it was sold off and converted to a cinema, run by South London Electric Theatres Ltd. This change of use broadly coincides with a replacement hall constructed for St Peters School on the northern side of Bridge Street. It appears that the Electric Cinema was a short lived venture as it disappears by 1919. |
