Old photos[edit]

I've found a couple of old photos before the second stage was built that we might be able to use,[1][2] if anyone thinks they're useful. -- Avenue (talk) 12:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They'd probably be worth adding. The ones there I simply found on commons -it may be that a gallery at the bottom is needed if many more pictures are addded. Grutness...wha? 23:12, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Floor plans[edit]

Page 12 in this presentation on the redevelopment helped me understand the extent and relative position of the two stages better. Would a similar (or simpler) plan be worth adding to the article? -- Avenue (talk) 12:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly some form of simplified plan would be useful -I'd do one myself, but the pdf is having trouble loading for me (I'm on dial-up). Grutness...wha? 23:10, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay - I've added a grossly simplified plan (hopefully the right areas are marked in each construction phase). I hope that that solves any confusion. Grutness...wha? 01:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Grutness,

It's great someone has added a plan but unfortunately it's inaccurate. It shows the Town Hall proper, the main auditorium, immediately behind the Municipal Chambers, which it isn't. The Concert Chamber/Glenroy is in there between them - transversely. Also, the main auditorium abuts Moray Place. There is no gap between the entrance and the street. Further, the Municipal Chambers doesn't have a rearward extension along Municipal Lane. That's the back of the Concert Chamber, part of the 1930 extension.

I don't know who did the plan but it would be good to have one which reflects the actual layout of the building.

It's from the council presentation pdf which Avenue linked above. If I can find a more accurate plan then I'll make a better version, but it's a case of being able to find one. Grutness...wha? 23:23, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
