in Royal Festival Hall - the 1950's
from Southbank Centre Archive:
We came to the pre-opening concert with my parents. My father, William Thomas Hall, was Secretary at the LCC to the architect who designed the Festival Hall. He worked for the LCC-GLC from the time he was 14 until he was 74 (apart from World War 1 service). We have named choir seats for him and my mother and, look forward to enjoying many more visits with our children and grandchildren!
