More about this scene

Designed by E Vincent Harris in the classical style featuring a Corinthian columned entrance, the City Hall was built using Darley Dale stone and completed in 1932. Inside is the Oval Hall, where up to 2800 people can be seated for concerts. The front of the hall still bears the scars of the night during World War Two when a bomb landed to the side of the War Memorial, destroying a static water tank into the bargain.
